Republican National Convention attendees booed Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) on Monday in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
McConnell, the chair of the Kentucky delegation for the Republican National Convention, announced that the state’s delegates would go toward nominating former President Donald Trump for president.
“Madame Chairman, the Commonwealth of Kentucky proudly casts 46 votes for the next president, Donald J. Trump,” McConnell said.
Although he led the Bluegrass State’s delegates for nominating president, many of those who attended the convention booed McConnell as he spoke.
A Morning Consult poll from April found that Trump is twice as popular as McConnell.
McConnell spoke to Punchbowl News about the possibility of Congress passing another aid package for Ukraine.
“[The Ukrainians] know they need to have some signs of success here, which will reassure the democratic countries that they can win,” McConnell said. »
