McConnell silent in aftermath of Trump broadside as ex-president threatens to get involved in GOP primaries
Fox News
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell was silent Tuesday night into Wednesday morning after former President Donald Trump lit into him in a lengthy statement calling on Republican senators to abandon McConnell and threatening primary challenges to incumbents.
Trump also attacked McConnell's wife, Elaine Chao, who was Trump's transportation secretary but resigned after the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol. He said, "McConnell has no credibility on China because of his family’s substantial Chinese business holdings." And the former president accused McConnell of being responsible for the GOP Senate runoff losses in Georgia because he would not support Trump's ask for $2,000 stimulus checks.More Related News
