George Stephanopoulos asked McConnell whether he believes Trump is qualified to hold the office of President of the United States. He responded with comments that did not address the question. When pressed to answer the question again, he would not state his view. George asked the following question.
“You just heard those new poll numbers. 64% of Americans say they don’t think Donald Trump is qualified to be president. Do you believe he’s qualified, and how do you convince all those voters who think he isn’t?”
He praised Donald Trump’s recent changes in his campaign, which include firing his campaign manager and beginning to make speeches using a teleprompter instead of doing them off the cuff as he has done previously. Stephanopouos responded with, “I didn’t hear you say whether you thought he was qualified.” The senior senator delivered the following answer.
“Look, that will be up to the American people to decide… our primary voters have made their decision as to who they want to be their nominee. The American people will be able to make that decision in the fall.”
...McConnell...stated that this year’s platform would align with basic Republican beliefs, adding that “Our nominee [Donald Trump] may not agree with every single one of those.”
