Earlier this month, former President Trump said that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) should be impeached if he backs a plan for the debt ceiling to be eliminated over fears that House Republicans could cause the U.S. to default on the nation’s credit.
When asked by conservative radio host John Fredericks about chatter surrounding the possibility of Congress effectively eliminating the debt limit, the former president lambasted the idea.
On Sunday, following the Democrat’s win and maintaining Senate control, Trump went on the attack.
“It’s Mitch McConnell’s fault. Spending money to defeat great Republican candidates instead of backing Blake Masters and others was a big mistake,” Trump said Sunday. “Giving 4 Trillion Dollars to the Radical Left for the Green New Deal, not Infrastructure, was an even bigger mistake. He blew the Midterms, and everyone despises him and his otherwise lovely wife, Coco Chow.”
With Democrats maintaining Senate control, this keeps the path open for Biden to have his judicial and administrative appointments confirmed, even if the Republicans take the House majority.
Control of the US House still hangs in the balance and may not be determined for some time with ballots left to be counted in closely contested races in California, as well as other states.
On Saturday, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said at a press conference, “The race is now called in Arizona and Nevada. Democrats will have a majority in the Senate and I will once again be Majority Leader. This election is a victory. A victory and a vindication for Democrats, our agenda for America, and for the American people, There are three things that helped the Senate secure the majority. One, our terrific candidates, two, our agenda and our accomplishments and three the American people rejected, the anti-democratic extremist MAGA Republicans.”

RE: At this point, if you’re not as mad as Trump you should be no where near power because you don’t get what’s happening.

If You Can Keep Your Head When Everybody Round You Is Losing His, Then It Is Very Probable That You Don’t Understand the Situation.
Mr. Trump’s juvenile race baiting will cost this country dearly.
This is really not helpful at all.
Yes Mitch has a lot to be blamed for in the last election.
But no racial comments.
Nothing to do with race, Mr.
Drama much?
You know what is juvenile? The way McConnell and his wife stabbed Trump in the back, and fought hi tooth and nail after he reached out, and after he gave Coco a great job.
Why is Trump not also attacking McCarthy for doing nothing about the 2022 Steal, knowing the Dems would do this again?
2024 National Republican Primary:
Trump 65% (+50) DeSantis 15%
The Trump Train is only gaining steam.
LEAVE TRUMP!
Cost the country dearly? As dearly as GOP Republican Bush, and his ten year long “Compassionate war” looting the American treasure of trillions! We won nothing but death and debt...
But you go ahead and continue your attack on Trump.
I would have called both of them a lot worse.
Elaine Chao was Secretay of Transportation in the Trump Administration. Dumbass Trump created his own political disaster. I voted for him twice to keep HRC and Biden out of the presidency. We need a younger, smarter candidate for 2024. Just common sense.
Since when are Mitch and his wife Republicans?
Another racist slur, and against his own former Transportation Secretary at that...
McConnell was kicked out of the Army for faggotry. He joined Reserves back during the Vietnam era. After 6 weeks he was kicked out for “eye problems”. The officer at the time said “apparently he couldn’t tell men from women”.
China Chow is a beard.
I’m his base and he ain’t turning me off
If he went after Jinping, Schwab, Gates, Soros, etc, most would be completely ok with it.
He goes after McConnells wife, who has how many ties to the CCP, and he’s wrong.
I’m a New Yorker. Must be a New York thing.
McTurtle is a CCP asset.
Prove me wrong.
China Chow is a beard.
Good reminder.
Trump mocking the name of McConnell's wife does nothing but strengthen McConnell, and lessen Trump. McConnell likely has gotten calls and emails of support from other Republicans wanting to distance themselves from those comments.
