Sen. McConnell Calls on Trump to Unite Party

U.S. Congress

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says Donald Trump, as the Republican Party's presumptive presidential nominee, has the "opportunity and the obligation" to unite the GOP. 

In a statement Wednesday, McConnell says he committed to supporting the nominee chosen by Republican voters and noted that Trump is on the verge of clinching that nomination. He says Trump now must unite the party around "our goals."

The Kentucky Republican says his party is committed to "restoring economic and national security" and preventing what he characterized as a "third term of Barack Obama" if Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton wins the White House.
