Watch live as Republican Leader Mitch McConnell reacts to Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential victory 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 press 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 major power center in Washington and a role in confirming the next president’s cabinet, as well as any Supreme Court justices if vacancies arise.

Trump has become the first convicted felon to be elected president of the United States.

His victory allows him to carry out his radical vision for a far more conservative country, with power concentrated in his hands.
