Mitch McConnell has announced his endorsement of Donald Trump for president.

He took his time, but ultimately Senator Mitch McConnell has fallen in line and endorsed Donald Trump for president in 2024.

The Senate minority leader and longtime leader of the Senate Republican caucus said in a statement to The Washington Post Wednesday that “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 announced his decision just minutes after Trump’s lone remaining challenger, former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, dropped out of the race after only winning one of Super Tuesday’s 16 state contests. McConnell himself announced last week that he will step down as GOP leader in November.

    I really don’t understand this bloke. He’s on his deathbed and wants Trump on his tombstone.

      He wants power for him and his buddies. That’s all it has ever been about with him.

      That is just more reason for me to make the pilgrimage to piss on his grave.

        There should be a website with a signup list for reservations to piss on his grave that we can fill up and send him a link to before he dies.

          I’d say we should piss on Trump’s grave too, except I hear he’s into that.

      Doesn’t have a choice. I don’t buy the idea that he’s on death’s door, I don’t dare to hope anymore. I believe he was forced out as part of MAGAt’s ongoing power struggle with the Republican Party. McConnell’s leaving for the same reason that RNC leadership has received a shake-up; they weren’t loyal enough to Trump.
