Rewritten Article: Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has announced his support for former President Donald Trump in the upcoming presidential election, stating that it is who Republican voters desire to be their party’s nominee. This decision comes as Trump becomes increasingly likely to secure the GOP’s 2024 nomination. McConnell had previously criticized Trump following the Capitol protest on January 6, 2021, but has since acknowledged that Republican voters have already spoken and selected their preferred candidate. The Kentucky senator voted against impeaching Trump in his second impeachment trial last year, explaining that as a former president at the time of the vote, he was no longer subject to impeachment proceedings. McConnell’s endorsement comes on the same day as Nikki Haley suspended her own presidential campaign, while Donald Trump himself expressed gratitude for the support via his social media platform Truth Social and noted that he is looking forward to working with a Republican Senate majority should he return to office in 2024. Former Attorney General Bill Barr has also endorsed Trump, emphasizing the need for Republicans to regain leadership positions within government as they work to address the multitude of problems facing America today. Recent polling data suggests that Trump currently leads President Joe Biden by at least one point in six out of seven swing states including Pennsylvania, Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina, Georgia and Wisconsin.
