Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said it would be hard for Donald Trump to serve as president again after the former president called for the Constitution to be terminated.
“Anyone seeking the presidency who thinks that the Constitution could somehow be suspended or not followed, it seems to me would have a pretty hard time being sworn in as president of the United States,” McConnell said at a press conference on Tuesday when asked if he would support Trump if he were the Republican nominee for president in 2024.
McConnell’s comments come days after Trump called for the “termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution,” while falsely claiming that there was widespread fraud in the 2020 election.
Trump officially announced he is running for the White House last month and is considered to be the front runner for the Republican Party nomination.
