Are Trump and McConnell ready to mend fences?

According to a NEWSMAX report, members of Donald Trump’s campaign team have been in touch with members of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s team to discuss a possible endorsement.

Trump has long been critical of the Minority Leader, calling him an “old crow” and encouraging his ouster from the Senate.

But it sounds like they are ready to put the Republican Party first.

“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.

The two started making an effort last month at about the time of the Iowa caucuses, sources told The Times, and Trump and McConnell were made aware of the talks.

In late January, Trump was telling people that he expected the key McConnell endorsement.

A McConnell endorsement would give Trump a vital party endorsement while signaling donors and anti-Trump Republicans that getting behind him in the idea of defeating President Joe Biden, who is far ahead of Trump in campaign cash, is acceptable.

McConnell, though, strongly blamed Trump as being “practically and morally responsible” for the Jan. 6, 2021, violence at the U.S. Capitol, but has also said he will endorse whomever the eventual GOP nominee is.

“President Trump is the presumptive nominee and it is time for the entire party to coalesce behind him to defeat crooked Joe Biden,” Trump communications director Steven Cheung said in a statement to The Times. “Senior members of the campaign have had many conversations but only engage with those who are actually willing to fight for America First principles and to take back the White House.”
