Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell suggested Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential election bid is in trouble following remarks made by the former President calling for the “termination” of rules regarding the previous election.
CNN reporter Manu Raju asked McConnell (R-KY) about the remarks during a briefing at the Capitol Tuesday.
“Can you say categorically that you would not support him if he were the Republican nominee?” Raju questioned.
“What I’m saying is, it would be pretty hard to be sworn into the presidency if you’re not willing to uphold the Constitution,” McConnell replied.“That’s what I said and I just said it again.”
That’s strange… considering the number of Presidents who have upheld the Constitution in the modern era is a handful, at best.
