Former President Donald Trump called Monday for Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and other GOP senators who voted with him to pass the $1.7 trillion spending bill last month to face primary challengers.
The 76-year-old Trump, writing on his Truth Social platform, first hailed Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) becoming House speaker and then blasted McConnell (R-Ky.) and the other GOP senators for caving on the spending bill before Republicans could take control of the House on Jan. 3.
“We must now stop Mitch McConnell,” Trump said before once again referring to McConnell’s wife, Elaine Chao, with a racial slur.
