Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) reportedly plans on never speaking to former President Donald Trump ever again.
The Kentucky senator voted to acquit Trump on the charge of “incitement of insurrection.” Still, he said the former president is “practically and morally responsible” for the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.
While Trump has not publicly shared whether he plans on mounting a bid for the Republican Party’s presidential nomination in 2024, he has not ruled it out either.
During an appearance on Fox News on Thursday night, McConnell was asked if he would support Trump in 2024 if he won the party’s nomination.
“The nominee of the party? Absolutely,” McConnell responded.

In a speech after voting to acquit Trump, the Kentucky lawmaker said, “There is no question that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day. The people who stormed this building believed they were acting on the wishes and instructions of their president.”
“President Trump is still liable for everything he did while he was in office as an ordinary citizen. He didn’t get away with anything. Yet,” he added.
