Sources close to former President Donald Trump and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who reportedly have not spoken to each other since December 2020, say teams behind both powerhouse politicians are working toward the Kentucky Republican endorsing Trump's return to the White House.
"We've reached the part of the primary where the party is coming together," a source familiar with the discussions commented to The Hill. "The absolute worst thing that can happen to this country is electing Joe Biden for four more years, and you can expect to coalesce around that point over the next nine months."
According to The New York Times, which first reported the possible endorsement, conversations have been taking place between Trump campaign adviser Chris LaCivita and McConnell confidant and political strategist Josh Holmes.
