McConnell refused to disavow Lake and said that GOP leadership would probably wait to see who wins the GOP primary in Arizona before getting involved.ĮXCLUSIVE: Don’t "piss off his voters." Footage of Ron DeSantis' 2018 debate prep sessions reveal his thoughts on dealing with Donald Trump. Failed gubernatorial candidate and election-denier Kari Lake, who won Trump’s endorsement, has hinted she will run for Senate on the Republican ticket. McConnell did not yet have a clear plan for Arizona, where independent Senator Kyrsten Sinema has not yet announced if she will run for reelection. But he does think that having Trump as a nominee could help Republicans win Senate battles too. McConnell did not explicitly say whether he would support Trump, instead saying he would back whoever the GOP nominates. Part of that will be backing former President Donald Trump should he secure the Republican nomination again in 2024. The minority leader said he’s not confident his party can retake the Senate, but he plans to work hard to try. McConnell said the GOP would focus primarily on flipping seats in Ohio, where Sherrod Brown is running for reelection, Montana (Jon Tester), West Virginia (Joe Manchin, who has been acting like a Republican anyway), and Pennsylvania (Bob Casey).
