NBC News reports:

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell did not say whether he is supportive of a 15-week federal ban on abortions, with exceptions, but told NBC’s “Meet the Press,” “I don’t think we’ll get 60 votes in the Senate for any kind of national legislation.”

McConnell made clear that he believes it’s an issue that should be decided in each state, telling moderator Kristen Welker, “I’m not advocating anything at this level. I think it’s gonna be sorted out all across the country and be very different in different states.”
