Former President Donald Trump rips LeaderMcConnell while uplifting SenRickScott as Senate leader candidate
An interview published on the day of the midterm elections showcased one of Trump's most strident rebukes of McConnell to date as he also laid the groundwork for a possible challenge by Sen. Rick Scott ."McConnell has been very bad for our nation," Trump told Fox News."He has been very bad for the Republican Party. I would be in favor of somebody else — McConnell has done a very bad job.
McConnell could be in a position to regain the title of majority leader if Republicans win back control of the Senate. The upper chamber is split 50-50 right now, giving an edge to the Democrats, who have a tiebreaker in Vice President Kamala Harris. Republicans need only a net gain of one seat to shake up the power dynamic. Momentum appears to be in the GOP's favor.
But Trump says"the public" is"very upset" with McConnell. Trump even suggested that if he runs again for president in 2024 and wins, McConnell's days are numbered as leader, because"I will say, don’t send me any legislation if he’s the leader, and he’ll be out in two minutes."By comparison, Trump said, Scott is a"very talented guy" who is"highly underrated.
Scott, Trump said, is also a"likely candidate" for leader."He’s tough — he’s tough, and I think he would probably go for it," Trump said."He’d have a lot of support."
