Still angry at McConnell, Trump calls for new Republican leader

The former president continues his criticism of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell as the party eyes its prospects for 2022 elections.

Former President Donald Trump kept up his attack on US Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Thursday, saying Republicans would do well to find a new leader if they hope to take back the Senate in 2022. Trump launched the latest salvo on Fox Business Network, when his interviewer asked about the upcoming midterm election battle for control of the Senate and House of Representatives. “We need good leadership. Mitch McConnell has not done a great job. I think they should change Mitch McConnell,” the former president said, according to the Reuters news service.
