Trump Escalates Feud With McConnell, Says He’s “A Disaster” & Calls For His Ousting

In an exclusive interview with The Federalist today, former President Donald Trump escalated his feud with Mitch McConnell, once again attacking the Minority Leader –– saying that he “has proven to be a disaster” and “called for Senate Republicans to fire Mitch McConnell and elect a new leader.”

Trump’s full quote: “I think Mitch McConnell has proven to be a disaster. He’s not good for the Republican Party as a leader, and I wish I wouldn’t have endorsed him. The Senate has to make a change at some point. I don’t think it’s acceptable having him as a leader.”

In response, Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee spokesperson Jazmin Vargas released the following statement: “We look forward to hearing if Republican incumbents and Senate candidates agree with Trump’s assessment that McConnell has been a ‘disaster’ –– he took the words right out of our mouth.” 

Over a long Summer of Chaos, Trump has continuously escalated Republican Senate primaries: pitting candidates against each other and raising fears from the GOP that his actions will inflict “midterm damage.”
