🎯Via Shannon Watts:
Sen. Mitch #McConnell’s legacy will be that he purposefully undermined America’s first Black president, he broke the Supreme Court, he helped elect a fascist President, and he abetted up an insurrection on American soil.
Oy. Just imagine who the next GOP Senate leader could be.
Via Scott MacFarlane:
Sen Josh Hawley (R-MO) just now: “Mitch #McConnell is the least popular politician in America of either party. He is a symbol of everything that's wrong with Washington”
"#Trump is encouraging Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.) to run for GOP leader — a move that would significantly shake up the race to succeed Mitch #McConnell later this year.
Daines currently helms #Senate Republicans' campaign arm. Daines indicated to Trump that he appreciates Trump's encouragement but is focused on winning back the Senate majority this fall..."

Well said.

It was always going to end up here.
#McConnell had a chance for actual bravery—to nudge his legacy a least a little towards the right side of history—and he folded like Ted Cruz’s favorite blow up doll.

I mean, it's not like Mitch McConnell is going to become a working lobbyist when he leaves. There's literally nothing in the realm of reason that drives an endorsement of Trump, aside from wanting his grave to reek of ammonia.
