Mitch McConnell To Meet With Trump For The First Time Since Jan. 6 Attack

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) will attend a meeting with former President Donald Trump this week ― their first in-person sit-down since shortly before the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U. S. Capitol, for which McConnell once said Trump was “practically and morally” responsible.

McConnell told reporters on Tuesday that he would join other GOP senators Thursday at the National Republican Senatorial Committee offices on Capitol Hill with Trump to discuss the 2024 election and the GOP agenda next year. Republicans are hoping to pass another round of tax cuts if they take back the Senate and the White House in November.

After condemning Trump’s role in the Jan. 6 attack in a fiery speech on the Senate floor, McConnell said in February 2021 that he would nevertheless support the former president if he once again became the GOP presidential nominee.

The two men have had no contact since then, however, maintaining a frosty relationship punctuated by Trump’s dozens of attacks against McConnell and his wife, Elaine Chao (including some racist ones). In March, McConnell formally announced he would be supporting Trump in the 2024 contest.

“I don’t think they’ve had any natural reason to get together,” Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N. C.) told HuffPost when asked about McConnell’s relationship with Trump. “You know, Mitch is all about the institution of the Senate. I don’t think it’s anything more than Mitch showing respect for our presidential nominee and showing up for the rest of us as a conference.”
