Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said Thursday night he would 'absolutely' back former President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential race if he was the nominee of the Republican Party. McConnell, who Trump referred to earlier this month as an 'dour, sullen, and unsmiling political hack,' was interviewed by Fox News Channel's Bret Baier, who asked the Kentucky Republican if he believed Trump would win the party's nomination in three years. 'There's no incumbent,' McConnell said. 'Should be a wide-open race and fun for you all to cover.'
