McConnell Really Wants To Stop Trump From Running...

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) warned on Monday that he and his allies are willing to step into Republican Senate primaries to try to prevent a candidate they view as unelectable in November 2022 from advancing.

McConnell, during an interview with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt, was asked if he and the Senate Leadership Fund, an outside group closely aligned with the Kentucky Republican, would be willing to intervene in 2022 Republican primaries.

"If necessary," McConnell told Hewitt about their willingness to get involved in Republican primaries.

"There's no question that in order to win ... you have to appeal to the general election audience," McConnell added. "I'll be keeping an eye on that. Hopefully we won't have to intervene, but if we do, we will."
