    “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.”

    That’s not an endorsement. That’s just an acknowledgement of reality.

      Next line in the article :

      “It should come as no surprise that as nominee, he will have my support,” said McConnell

      (I thought the same thing)

        That’s still extremely lukewarm. It just says “yep he’s the nominee and part of my role is to support the nominee.”

          Well 1) the man committed treason so nah he should grow some balls and stand for what’s right, but he won’t 2) he is literally leaving his position and retiring in October so he could extra grow a pair and go against trump, but he won’t. 3) McConnell is one of the most evil men in US political history
