Mitch McConnell Reluctantly Endorses Donald Trump

After years of animosity, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) endorsed former President Donald Trump on Wednesday for re-election—but only after his final opponent dropped out and only reluctantly.

“It is abundantly clear that former President Trump has earned the requisite support of Republican voters to be our nominee for President of the United States. It should come as no surprise that as nominee, he will have my support,” McConnell said in a statement.

“During his Presidency, we worked together to accomplish great things for the American people including tax reform that supercharged our economy and a generational change of our federal judiciary—most importantly, the Supreme Court. I look forward to the opportunity of switching from playing defense against the terrible policies the Biden administration has pursued to a sustained offense geared towards making a real difference in improving the lives of the American people.”
