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.”

No, "Chow" is not her last name. "Chao" is, which Trump surely knew because he was his Secretary of Transportation. So the mocking of her name as "Chow" - as in "Chow Mein" - was deliberate.
Isn’t “Chao” pronounced as “Chow”?
What an outstanding resume!
A self-made man and a remarkable philanthropist.
Also, a graduate of, professor at, and Trustee of my alma mater, St. John’s University.
A truly meritorious man of many honors.
Yes - But it isn’t spelled that way, and I’d assume Trump knows how to spell.
Wow, look at all the McConnell snapping turtles attacking Trump. I place this as “who cares” column. Name calling is the least of our problems people. Get some ointment for your arse if your so but hurt over it.
Isn’t “Chao” pronounced as “Chow”?
How to pronounce Zhao (Pin Yin romanization, Chao in Wade-Giles romanization).
Agreed
Her real name is Elaine Chao. So somehow, making her name sound like Chinese food — doesn’t seem to be an insult for you. OK ...
Using the same logic, people on FR could call President Trump ... Donald Tramp, let’s say. Or Dodo Trump. You would be OK with that as well... right?
I mean, people often lampoon Andrew Cuomo as “Fredo” Cuomo, and while justifiable, considering how despicable he is, I think it’s pretty obvious that Fredo is meant as an insult.
What, please specify, was McCarthy supposed to do over the last two years to fundamentally halt voter fraud everywhere?
so Karpov ... you’re a NeverTrumper who makes sure to find as nany negative articles as possible about Donald Trump and then posts those stories on FR then rolls the live hand grenade into a roon crowded with Freepers, while locking the door behind you.
I see that you almost never reply in threads you begin. you primarily post anti-Trump stuff.
He was president for 4 years. The buck stops with McConnell, I guess.
Unleas you’re just trolling...Trump was very much blocked. Trump’s VERY FIRST act wad an election integrity commission and everyone said elections are free and fair which they clearly are not. Trump’s first budget, his own “team” who NOW claim the border is all Bidens fault wouldn’t give him money for the wall. Spare me. The Repukes are a total disaster.
REMEMBER…. the enemy wants us divided. Period.

He’d lose bigly. He was the kiss of death for most candidates recently. It’d be the best loss ever.
the question, which YOU POSED, DOC, was about “2022” and NOT 2020
You wrote:
“Why is Trump not also attacking McCarthy for doing nothing about the 2022 Steal, knowing the Dems would do this again?”
So maybe you should start there, FRINO
