Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Tuesday lashed out at President Trump and blamed 2022 losses on support of the former president. Recall, Mitch McConnell held up funds for Arizona Senate candidate Blake Masters and other solid MAGA candidates. McConnell funded RINOs like Murkowski from Alaska and dissed Trump-endorsed candidates. McConnell on Tuesday told reporters that the GOP didn’t do well in 2022 because of Trump.

Many have noted that the Turtle controls the money for Republican Senate candidates. That is the simple answer. Well, Trump also controls large sums of political money. Trump is more than capable of supporting MAGA Senate candidates, and holding rallies, which may be...

In a secret ballot election, McConnell, R-Ky., garnered 37 votes to Scott's 10, with one senator abstaining, according to Sen. Ted Cruz. McConnell gave a thumbs up as he walked through the Capitol after securing his victory.
