Former Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown says South Dakota Senator John Thune would “be a fantastic vice President” for Donald Trump.
Brown and Thune served together in the Senate from 2010 to 2013.
Brown says Thune would be a bridge to the establishment for Trump.

Thune says it’s not something he is really thinking about…..

Thune says he would rather return to the Senate, and work with hopefully, a new republican President….

Thune faces democrat Jay Williams in his re-election bid this year.
