South Dakota U.S. Sen. John Thune, the second-ranking Senate Republican and a long-time 340B covered entity ally, might not run for re-election in 2022, two news organizations report. It would be a significant blow to 340B providers who have counted on Thune and his clout over the past two decades.
Thune told a home-state newspaper early this month he would announce his decision by the end of this month. Thune said his wife Kimberley wants him to come home, the Black Hills Pioneer reported. The New York Times reported this week that “a combination of family concerns and former President Donald J. Trump’s enduring grip on the Republican Party” are prompting Thune to consider retirement.
