Trump lashes out at 'broken down hack' McConnell over GOP Senate candidates
Former US President Donald Trump has lashed out at Republican Senator Mitch McConnel in a dispute over the GOP Senate mid-term campaign, describing him as a "broken down political hack.”
In a post on Truth Social, the former Republican president said the senior senator should spend more time and money helping Republican Senate candidates get elected.
"Why do Republicans Senators allow a broken down hack politician, Mitch McConnell, to openly disparage hard-working Republican candidates for the United States Senate," Trump asked.
McConnell has drawn ire from Trump after the senator expressed skepticism around Republicans' chances of retaking congressional majorities in the November midterms.
McConnel said on Thursday that Republicans will face a tough task in flipping the Senate majority, citing "candidate quality."
According to recent polling, Republican nominees in the country’s most closely contested states are struggling to keep up.
This includes Trump-backed candidates Mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania, JD Vance in Ohio, and Herschel Walker in Georgi
Trump and McConnell, who were once firm allies, have been publicly feuding since the senator appeared to accept President Joe Biden's victory and condemned the former president for being "practically and morally responsible" for the January 6 Capitol insurrection.
Despite their fraught ties, McConnel has said that he would still support Trump as the Republican Party’s 2024 nominee.
