Donald Trump urged Republican senators Tuesday to dump Mitch McConnell as their leader in the Senate following his withering criticism of the former US president after his impeachment trial.
In his most extensive comments yet on politics since stepping down from power on January 20, Trump also threatened to use his influence against party candidates who don’t align with him.
He called the longtime senator “dour, sullen” and warned that “if Republican Senators are going to stay with him, they will not win again.”❐
