Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) predicted on Wednesday night that he'll be reelected as Senate GOP leader regardless of whether Republicans take back the upper congressional chamber in November’s elections.

During an appearance on Fox News, McConnell was asked by host Bret Baier about whether he would be able to lead a GOP caucus that may include a growing number of senators backed by former President Donald Trump, who has frequently criticized McConnell’s leadership.
