Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says Donald Trump “doesn’t know a lot about the issues.”

The comments came during Bloomberg’s “Masters in Politics” podcast, in regards to Trump picking a strong vice presidential candidate.

“He needs someone highly experienced and very knowledgeable because it’s pretty obvious he doesn’t know a lot about the issues,” McConnell said. “You see that in the debates in which he’s participated.”
