Allies of former President Trump say he’s determined to make life miserable for Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).
Trump’s political machine, which has $60 million in a super PAC and an unmatched grassroots fundraising apparatus, is vowing to go aggressively after GOP lawmakers in primaries in the wake of an unprecedented feud between the nation’s two most powerful Republicans.
Trump was prepared to give McConnell a pass, sources in his orbit stated, after he gave a blistering post-impeachment floor speech saying the former president was “practically and morally” responsible for the Jan. 6 riots at the Capitol that led to five deaths and the evacuation of Congress.
But McConnell’s follow-up op-ed knocking Trump in The Wall Street Journal was the final straw, provoking a blistering response in which the former president insulted McConnell and his family and threatened to back primary challengers against GOP incumbents.
“Our goal is to win back the House and Senate,” said Jason Miller, a senior adviser to Trump. “We’ll be looking at open seats, Democratic-held seats, and maybe there are places where we look for upgrades and more MAGA-friendly voices. I have no idea why McConnell decided to lash out at the president this way, but when you do, you can expect to get hit back.”
Trump and his team do not have a GOP targets list yet and are only in the early stages of sketching out a plan.

EXPOSE him and his wife!!
Never hear McConnell go after Byedone like Schumer goes after Trump. Disgraceful.
If President Trump can propel enough conservatives to the Senate, he can discard McConnell like the trash he is.
I don’t believe McConnell will run again but, perhaps, he can be jettisoned from any leadership position in the Senate.
Tomorrow.
Give him the EIB Mic.
I had Mark Steyn in mind for the permanent gig, with guest gabbers once a week or so.
President Trump would be a great guest gabber, but I don’t think he’d want the job full time.
Time will tell.
pedopOTUS in ACTION fondling a trapped 6 year old

Turtle did get a lot of judges through.
After that not so much done for Trump’s agenda.
Swamp Turtle.
“Turtle did get a lot of judges through.”
And how’s that workin’ out for us?
Finally. Good. McC in as deep w/ the Chinese as Biden family
funny how that works...wonder why?!!!
Insulted his family?
Written as if the "family" is a doting wife and their small children.
True Fact Check: McConnell's "family" are adult active members of the Chinese Communist Party supporting the overthrow of America and our Constitutional Republic.
I don’t think steyn wants full time but he is really good
Gawd, I hope so.
Not so hot...but maybe better than whats coming....
Pound the RINOS and Never Trumpers.
I will only donate to an official Trump PAC.
And I will donate the most I can.
Let the GOP get their funds fro the Globalist
You think Noem, for example, is going to go against Thune? Not a chance. We’ll never have enough conservatives in the Senate without a repeal of the 17th amendment. Even then it’s iffy. Look how cowardly our “GOP” legislatures behaved during the steal.
It's not insulting if it's the truth.
Noem has been a disappointment in that regard.
