McConnell May Jump Into Primary Races

“Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, facing the prospect of campaigns from the pro-Trump wing of the Republican party, signaled his willingness to get involved in primary elections to improve the party’s chances of regaining control of the chamber in the next round of elections in 2022,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

McConnell said the key to GOP chances of retaking the Senate is “getting candidates who can actually win in November. That may or may not involve trying to affect the outcome of the primaries.”
