Mitch McConnell Says He’d Support Trump For President In 2024 After Denouncing Him
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said he would support former President Donald Trump should he become the 2024 Republican presidential nominee.
On Thursday, in response to a question from Fox News’ Bret Baier regarding whether or not McConnell would support another presidential bid by Trump, McConnell said, “[If he is] the nominee of the party? Absolutely.”
McConnell added: “There’s a lot to happen between now and ’24. I’ve got at least four members that I think are planning on running for president, plus some governors and others. There’s no incumbent. It should be a wide-open race and fun for you all to cover.”
McConnell isn’t the only Senate Republican who thinks another Trump run is possible. On Tuesday, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) said that he believes Trump would win the Republican presidential nomination in 2024, if he runs.
