Trump mocks McConnell's endorsement at North Carolina rally

newsweek.com — November 4, 2024, 12:02 AM UTC

Former President Donald Trump mocked Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's endorsement of him during a rally in North Carolina, calling it a "painful day" for McConnell. This comes after years of tension between the two since the 2020 election.

McConnell, who has endorsed Trump for the 2024 election, has previously criticized him, calling him "stupid" and "despicable" in private. Trump has also criticized McConnell, suggesting he was "hanging by a thread" after the election loss.

As McConnell prepares to step down as Senate leader, Senators John Cornyn and John Thune are seen as potential successors. McConnell has been the longest-serving Senate leader in U.S. history, and his departure raises questions about the future direction of the Republican Party in the Senate.
