60% : "The Republican majority is unified in backing President Trump," said Senator Jim Banks, a first-term Republican from Indiana.
46% : " McConnell did not mention Trump when he took to the Senate floor earlier in the day to announce his retirement plans, but he hinted that he intended to continue playing the more liberated role he has chosen for himself during his final months in Congress.
39% : But he has a deeply fraught relationship with Trump, despite having played a key role in enacting the president's agenda and allowing him to return to power.
38% : He established himself as a master tactician in the Senate during 18 years as minority and majority leader, making shrewd use of the chamber's rules to thwart his opponents and empower his allies, including President Trump.
29% : McConnell may be remembered above all else for voting to acquit Trump in his impeachment trial after the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.
