Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said former President Donald Trump‘s influence is waning, reiterating his blame towards his political foe for GOP shortcomings in the midterms.
Mr. McConnell, who has had an increasingly strained relationship with Mr. Trump since the 2021 Capitol riot, said Mr. Trump helped cast voters an unappealing image of the Republican Party that broke the trust of the electorate.
“We lost support that we needed among independents and moderate Republicans, primarily related to the view they had of us as a party — largely made by the former president — that we were sort of nasty and tended toward chaos,” Mr. McConnell told NBC News.
Mr. McConnell added: “And oddly enough, even though that subset of voters did not approve of President Biden, they didn’t have enough confidence in us in several instances to give us the majority we needed.”
Republicans greatly fell short of expectations in a year that was anticipated to be a “red wave.”
The GOP only narrowly took control of the House, while Democrats kept their hold on the Senate.
Mr. McConnell said he would be actively seeking “quality candidates” for 2024 after he said Republicans underperformed in every state.
The Kentucky Republican said the GOP‘s performance was “fatal” in Arizona, New Hampshire, and Georgia.

Mitch has the Deep State virus.
There is no vaccine.
McConnell finally sees the chickens coming home to roost.
May a terrible disease take out this traitor and all his co-conspirators. Please G-d, save our nation.
.
Except Pence was 2 out of 9 in his endorsements.
Trump gets zero support from his party, Swalwell, Kidzinger, and Cheney attack Trump, and GOP is silent, or they come out and say how much they admire Cheney!

“...What has McConnell done in the last 20 years?...”
Uhhh.... Hmmmm.... Well, he got tied in with communist China via of a wife....ahhh, let me think here. Didn’t he get tossed out of the armed forces for being a faggot? Well, let’s think some more here...oh yeah: He’s taken ill-gotten money...most recently via of the notorious FTX BS, he’s snatched RAT defeat from the jaws of victory so many times we’ve all lost count. He’s almost single-handedly decimated the GOP base over the past week or so. He tried to destroy Trump’s presidency any way he could. He’s proud to be a villainous UniParty hack that hates the “unwashed masses” better known as The People, and oh....yeah...almost forgot: he loves pigging on the swill flowing from the taxpayer trough.
So yeah, that’s a good start of his deeds to answer your question. He’s done a lot...... /s
I find McConnell to be a “turn-off”
I have more respect for Bernie Sanders than the turtle
You know Bernie is a communist bastard.Cocain Mitch pretends to be a patriotic American when all he is is a greedy TRAITOR.
Bitch McConnell has only been face down backside up for the dems since forever, so consider the source.
Yeah?
FU Mitch...
He is lying worse then Biden here blaming Trump on the election, instead of admitting the GOP didn’t fund the MAGA candidates and openly campaigned against them.
Not that crap again.
Kinder, gentler Bush BS

Where was the Biden Resistance strategy. Mitch?
Biden goes out and says someone dead for 20 yrs told him that Trump can’t be trusted - and 260 Republicans are Silent.

Where was the Biden Resistance strategy. Mitch?
Biden goes out and says someone dead for 20 yrs told him LAST NIGHT that Trump can’t be trusted - and 260 Republicans are Silent.
I’m sure he has to know but doesn’t care.
Most unpopular person in Washington says what?
He should shut up. Does he represent the republican party or just an opposition to Donald Trump?
How many voters are turned off by his cowardly non leadership?
Does that piece of 💩 even care? Screw him.
Does it matter?
Every comment at the Washington Times site hates on the turtle.
Corruption at its finest with the RINO GOP
