McConnell: "I think" we'll "stick with" Herschel Walker

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said in a new interview that the Republican Party will continue to back Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker despite credible allegations that the self-described pro-life politician convinced a woman to abort the child they conceived together.

“​​I think we’re going to stick with Walker and all the effort we put in through SLF [Senate Leadership Fund], we’re going take it all the way to the end,” McConnell told CNN in a lengthy interview published Tuesday.

McConnell endorsed Walker in the GOP primary for Georgia Senate and the candidate has been financially supported by the SLF, a Republican PAC tied to the minority leader.

“I think they’re going to hang in there and scrap to the finish,” McConnell said of the Walker campaign.
