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.

    Anyone who didn’t expect this and still thinks we can work with senate republicans isn’t fit to be in office.

    I’d rather not spend four more years watching geriatric Charlie Brown try to kick a football.

    It’s just elder abuse at this point, because he clearly can’t remember what happened last time.
