Top Republican Mitch McConnell is changing his tune about Trump. During an interview with Bret Baier, McConnell said he would “absolutely” support Trump if he won the Republican nomination in 2024.

According to The Hill:

“There’s a lot to happen between now and ’24. I’ve got at least four members that I think are planning on running for president. … Should be a wide open race,” McConnell said during an interview with Fox News’s Bret Baier.

Asked if he would support Trump if he wins the party’s nomination in 2024, McConnell added: “The nominee of the party? Absolutely.”

…

McConnell, during the Fox News interview, emphasized trying to unite the party heading into the midterms. Republicans hold 50 seats, putting them on the cusp of the majority, but they are also playing defense in 20 states in 2022.

“Let’s focus on winning the House and the Senate in ’22,” McConnell said, adding that it would give the party’s next presidential nominee “whoever that may be, the best chance to be victorious.”

McConnell’s statement offers a sharp change in tone after delivering a scathing speech on the Senate floor where he said Trump was responsible for the Jan. 6 Capitol violence and said he hoped the Republican Party would shift away from the former president.
