Outgoing Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell endorsed former President Trump following his 14 Super Tuesday GOP primary victories, after a contentious relationship dating back to 2020 when McConnell refused to say the election was stolen. McConnell\'s endorsement came after Nikki Haley dropped out of the race, with Trump securing 14 out of 15 states with delegates. McConnell\'s support could attract new donors for Trump, who has faced significant legal expenses. McConnell highlighted their past collaborations on tax reform and judiciary changes during Trump\'s presidency.
