Abstract

Outgoing Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has endorsed former President Donald Trump for the 2024 presidential election, despite their previous acrimony and insults. McConnell's endorsement comes after Trump's success on Super Tuesday, where he won almost every race and is now the last person in the GOP contest. McConnell's endorsement aims to repair the rift between the two Republicans and secure a Republican Senate majority. Although McConnell previously broke with Trump over his efforts to overturn the 2020 election, he did not vote to convict Trump in his impeachment trial related to the Capitol riot.
