Mitch McConnell endorses former President Trump as GOP presidential nominee

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has endorsed former President Donald Trump’s campaign for a second term, despite consistently clashing with Trump for years.

“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,” McConnell said in a statement. “It should come as no surprise that as nominee, he will have my support.”

McConnell noted that during Trump’s presidency, the two men worked together to pass tax reform and reshape the federal judiciary for a generation. He said he looks forward “to the opportunity of switching from playing defense against the terrible policies the Biden administration.”
