McConnell on Trump 2024: ‘No room in the Republican Party for antisemitism’ | USA TODAY #Shorts

Mitch McConnell expressed skepticism about Donald Trump’s electability in the 2024 presidential race after Trump’s controversial dinner with rapper Ye and white supremacist Nick Fuentes.

A rising number of Republicans, including Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell, are denouncing Donald Trump for hosting a dinner with white nationalist and antisemitic guests – but few if any expect the former president to apologize.

“There is no room in the Republican Party for antisemitism or white supremacy," said McConnell, R-Ky., a frequent antagonist of Trump. "And anyone meeting with people advocating that point of view, in my judgement, is highly unlikely to ever be elected president of the United States."

McConnell and others spoke out a day after former Vice President Mike Pence called on Trump to actually apologize for last week's meeting that included white nationalist Nick Fuentes and rapper Ye (formerly known as Kanye West), both of whom have made a series of statements attacking Jews.
