Mitch McConnell Endorses Trump Despite Past Criticisms

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell reaffirms support for Donald Trump, citing GOP voter decision despite previous reservations over Jan. 6 events.

Mitch McConnell, despite past criticisms of Donald Trump's role in the Jan. 6 insurrection, endorses him for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination.
McConnell emphasizes his limited influence in changing GOP voter preferences and focuses on supporting the party's nominee.
The endorsement follows former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley's withdrawal from the presidential race, solidifying Trump's path to the nomination.
McConnell plans to step down from GOP leadership in November due to health issues and to focus on securing a Republican Senate majority.
He maintains his stance that former presidents, including Trump, should not be immune from prosecution, awaiting a Supreme Court decision on the matter.
