Watch Live: Mitch McConnell reacts to Donald Trump’s election victory

Watch live Republican Leader Mitch McConnell react to Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 presidential election on Wednesday, November 6.

The 45th and now 47th President of the United States is only the second person in history to serve two non-consecutive terms as president.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell holds a news conference hours after the GOP won control of the Senate, retaking the chamber for the first time in four years.

This victory gives the party a key power center in Washington and a role in confirming the next president’s Cabinet as well as a Supreme Court justice if a vacancy arises.

Mr. Trump is the first convicted criminal to be elected president in the United States.

His victory allows him to implement his radical vision of a far more conservative country where power is concentrated in his hands.
