Trump must think he can flip Strange. And he needs something to say something positive about the GOP Senate while he applies a political 2x4 upside McConnell’s head.
Strange is because Trump still needs McConnell to get his agenda done. He needs to get some promises from McConnell before doing his bidding on these things. Strange has voted with Trump on everything so far, but he is a risk of flipping whereas the other candidates are not. I really hope he loses, either now or in the runoff, because it will be on McConnell, not Trump.
