Donald Trump just got another endorsement after his massive Super Tuesday.

Mitch McConnell announced he will be supporting Donald Trump.

Axios reported:

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is endorsing former President Trump in the 2024 presidential election.

Why it matters: McConnell recently announced he’d step down as Senate GOP leader in November after years of a contentious relationship with the former president.

The endorsement, first reported by the Washington Post, came hours after former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley dropped out of the presidential race.

“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 said in a statement.

In late February, Mitch McConnell announced he would be stepping down as GOP Senate Leader in November.

AP news reported:

Mitch McConnell, the longest-serving Senate leader in history who maintained his power in the face of dramatic convulsions in the Republican Party for almost two decades, will step down from that position in November.

McConnell, who turned 82 last week, announced his decision Wednesday in the well of the Senate, the chamber where he looked in awe from its back benches in 1985 when he arrived and where he grew increasingly comfortable in the front row seat afforded the party leaders.

“One of life’s most underappreciated talents is to know when it’s time to move on to life’s next chapter,” he said. “So I stand before you today … to say that this will be my last term as Republican leader of the Senate.”
