“Thank you to Senator Rob Portman and Senator Cory Gardner for the early and warm endorsement. We will ALL WIN in 2020 together!” Trump tweeted.

Portman and Gardner both declined to support Trump in 2016, with Portman withdrawing his support following the release of an “Access Hollywood” tape in which the president makes lewd comments about women. Gardner at the time called for the GOP to replace Trump with a candidate who could defeat his then-opponent, Hillary ClintonHillary Diane Rodham ClintonWhite House accuses Biden of pushing ‘conspiracy theories’ with Trump election claim Biden courts younger voters — who have been a weakness Trayvon Martin’s mother Sybrina Fulton qualifies to run for county commissioner in Florida MORE (D), in the general election.

The two said this week that they had both made up their minds to support Trump after viewing the field of likely Democratic candidates running in 2020.

“Look, there are things here — look, I’ve made it very clear that where I agree with the president, we will agree or where I disagree, we will disagree,” Gardner told IJR. “But I’m going to fight like hell for Colorado, and we’ve done some good things for Colorado.”

Gardner, who beat an incumbent Democrat in 2014, faces a tough reelection race in a state Clinton won in 2016. Portman outpaced Trump in Ohio when he won his 2016 reelection race.

“I intended to support the Republican incumbent,” Portman added to IJR. “What changed? Well, he’s the incumbent. I mean, he’s in office, I work with him every day. I disagree with him publicly and privately when appropriate. But I also get a lot done, and I get that done with him. So we work with the White House, and I think that’s important for Ohio.”
