McConnell endorses Trump for president as Haley suspends campaign

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Wednesday endorsed former President Trump’s bid for the White House, a turnaround in the icy relationship between two of the most prominent Republicans in the country.
McConnell unveiled the endorsement only after news broke that former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (R), Trump’s final remaining opponent, was dropping out of the race following Trump’s big wins 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.
“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.”
