The long-running feud between former President Donald Trump and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has been simmering for years, but it is starting to reach a boil.
Not only have the midterm primary results been decidedly in Trump's favor vs. McConnell candidates, but now Trump wants "a new Republican leader in the Senate to be picked immediately," he wrote in a pointed Save America PAC statement posted Wednesday to Truth Social.
"The Democrats have Mitch McConnell and his lovely wife, Elaine 'Coco' Chao, over a barrel," the statement began. "He and she will never be prosecuted, as per the last paragraphs of this story, as long as he continues to give the radical left the trillions and trillions of dollars that they constantly demand."
Trump has long rebuked McConnell's weakness in standing up to Senate Democrats' spending and legislative agenda; but with the midterms just a few months away, Trump is now calling for new Republican leadership in the Senate.
"He was afraid to use the 'debt ceiling card' in order to stop the most expensive waste of money in our country's history, to be spent on the Green New Deal, which will only cause one thing, a Depression," Trump's statement trashing McConnell continued. "These expenditures are something our country can never recover from.
"Mitch McConnell is not an opposition leader. He is a pawn for the Democrats to get whatever they want. He is afraid of them, and will not do what has to be done. A new Republican Leader in the Senate should be picked immediately!"
The Federalist story referenced above is headlined: "Trump Is Right. Mitch McConnell And Elaine Chao Spent Decades Getting 'Rich On China.'"

Trump is right.
Why did Trump make Elaine Chao Secretary of Transportation?
We will not get new leadership until we change the membership.
As long as we keep re-electing Thune, Barrasso, Blunt, Ernst, Scott, Scott, Lee, Crapo, Grassley, Shelby, Murkowski, Sullivan, Boozman, Rubio, Risch, Young, Braun, Moran, Cassidy, Collins, Hyde-Smith, Daines, Fischer, Sasse, Burr, Tillis, Hoeven, Cramer, Portman, Inhofe, Lankford, Toomey, Grahamnesty, Rounds, Cornyn, Romney, Capito, Lummis then they will keep Mitch in his position.
To get his judges through Mitch.
It took some time for him to figure out that the Republican leadership were no friends!!!
I agree with Trump. McConnell has got to go and I hope John Cornyn doesn’t take his place. Good grief!
I agree!!!
Those are Mitch Judges. Trump got schlonged by Mitch and Chao, and the rest of government.
Turtle boy wants to throw the elections for his own gain.
It will be John Thune.
Trump picked them from the list he commissioned. You should be glad we got them. Mitch went along as part of a deal to put his wife in as secretary.
Just a bad idea all around.
I nominate Rand Paul.
He knew but he wasn’t in a position to do much about it.
He needed them to not block his campaign, to get appointees through, and to try to get as much of his agenda through as possible and he needed them to avoid the Democrats impeaching him.
Now Trump’s select candidates are increasing in Congress, and Trump has more power to do things like call for McConnell to be replaced.
Mitch da Bitch gotta go. @#%& Deep State loser.
Should I be more or less worried...lol
Put the Cotton’s and the Blackburn’s and the Scott’s and the Graham’s and name your Senator if you got an R one or two under the microscope.
Do they give a rip or don’t they?
