McConnell endorsement comes after Trump's
only primary opponent, Nikki Haley, suspended her campaign Wednesday morning
Lawrence Richard
Republican Senate Leader Mitch
McConnell endorsed former President Trump's re-election campaign on
Wednesday after he collected nearly 1,000 delegates from a thunderous
performance on Super Tuesday.
"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.
He continued: "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," McConnell added.
The endorsement comes after Trump's only primary opponent, Nikki Haley, suspended her presidential campaign on Wednesday morning.
McConnell, who announced in November that he would step down from the
Republican leadership, was the most senior member of Congress that had yet to
endorse Trump.
He will serve the remainder of
his term, which formally ends in January 2027.
