Sen. Mitch McConnell, after stepping down from his Senate leadership position, bucked President Trump and was one of only three Republicans to vote against the president’s nominee for defense secretary. With confirmation hearings for Mr. Trump’s Cabinet nominees ongoing, people are wondering just what McConnell will do next.
The 82-year-old said he feels free to be more outspoken about what he cares about than he has in the past he feels the American people deserve better, but it seems unlikely that he’ll be leading an opposition to the head of his party. He feels Trump betrayed on his promise to reduce inflation and make American great. Maga movement was wrong and now everyone feels the pain.
While McConnell’s been critical of the president, he has almost always wound up retracting his claws. McConnell voted against convicting Mr. Trump at the Senate trial that took place after the president had just left office. A conviction could have disqualified Mr. Trump from running for re-election.McConnell thought that the criminal and civil justice system would be there to hold Trump accountable, biographer Tackett said.
McConnell’s relationship with Trump”What happened in the past” between McConnell and Mr. Trump includes insults and heated arguments. To his biographer Michael Tackett, who interviewed the senator over the last three years, and in his oral histories, McConnell vented about the president, saying Mr. Trump is “nasty,” “not very smart” and a “sleazeball.”Meanwhile, Mr. Trump has called McConnell “sullen” and an “unsmiling political hack.””We do have to do something about Mitch McConnell. He’s, he’s a disaster. He’s a disaster,” Mr. Trump said during a March 2023 campaign rally in Davenport, Iowa. The president has also used a racial slur against McConnell’s second wife, former U.S. Secretary of Labor and Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao, something McConnell said he never confronted Mr. Trump over.McConnell says he and Mr. Trump haven’t spoken in a while. McConnell was very upset about what happened during the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot, during which he was evacuated from the Senate while rioters banged on his office door with his staff inside, barricading the door with furniture. McConnell said the Jan. 6 Capitol riot was evidence of Mr. Trump’s “complete unfitness for office. He wants American to know he won’t stop speaking out until things get better.
