The Latest: McConnell Says He's Remaining Mum on Trump

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Oct 10, 2016, 1:07 PM ET

The Latest on the U.S. presidential race (all times EDT):

1:10 p.m.

The Senate's top Republican is keeping his mouth shut about the latest controversies engulfing Donald Trump.

Mitch McConnell told a Chamber of Commerce audience Monday in his home state of Kentucky that "I don't have any observations to make" about the presidential election.

McConnell has endorsed Trump, but had called upon him to apologize after his crude comments about women in a 2005 videotape were revealed Friday.

McConnell said that he's keeping his own counsel. He said his observations "are immediately sort of spun around the world and I don't have anything to add on the presidential race today."

6. Despise him..I want the Republicans to lose the Senate

then I want Hillary to appoint a more liberal justice. Then he can regret not allowing a vote on President Obama's nominee for many years to come. He is the main one that set up roadblocks for Obama.
