Mitch McConnell has acknowledged his duty to take up removal proceedings should the House vote to impeach Trump. However, this doesn’t mean he still doesn’t support President Trump.

Recently, McConnell released an ad reaffirming his support for the President.

According to Fox News:

While Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has pledged to take up the impeachment fight in the Senate should the House move against President Trump, a new campaign ad from the Kentucky Republican makes clear he’s not wavering on his support for the president.

In the brief video, McConnell accuses House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of being “in the clutches of a left-wing mob” pushing her toward impeaching the president, while promising to stand in her way.

“All of you know your Constitution. The way that impeachment stops is with a Senate majority with me as Majority Leader,” he declares.

He closes by saying, “But I need your help,” as he requests campaign donations. Marine veterans Amy McGrath and Mike Broihier are among the Democrats currently vying for the chance to face McConnell in 2020.

McConnell has made clear that he will protect President Trump from removal using any and all tools available to him.
