Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has said he would “absolutely” support Donald Trump if he secures the Republican nomination in 2024 despite making his blistering attack on the former president only two weeks ago.

The Kentucky Republican told Fox News there was still “a lot to happen between now” and the next presidential election.
