Trump Makes Move to Oust Mitch McConnell, Pushes Florida Senator Rick Scott to Challenge Him for Leadership

President Trump is making serious moves to get rid of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and replace him with Florida Senator Rick Scott according to Politico.

This from slaynews.com.

Trump has publicly feuded with Mitch for nearly five years. And he clearly recognizes fresh leadership in the form of someone with a steady pulse and loyalty to America and the Republican Party is badly needed

Trump has routinely trashed McConnell and calls for the Kentucky senator to be removed from GOP leadership.

How this guy can stay as Leader is beyond comprehension—this is coming not only from me, but from virtually everyone in the Republican Party. Trump wrote in December demanding Mitch get the boot. He is a disaster and should be replaced as ‘Leader’ ASAP!

Now Trump is picking up the pace and is trying to recruit a candidate, Scott, personally at Mar a Lago to challenge Mitch. “You should run for Senate majority leader,” Trump told Scott.

Scott did not tell Trump no in Florida. He responded, “We have to focus on winning. My only focus is on winning.” But behind the scenes, Politico paints a different picture. One where Scott and McConnell are at odds more frequently and where he must walk a fine line between Trump and his nemesis Mitch.

“Rick Scott doesn’t give a f*ck about what McConnell thinks,” said one senior Republican official who knows them both.

Scott’s spokesman Chris Hartline said: “Chairman Scott and Leader McConnell are working hand in hand to win back the Senate in November.”

From Politico:

This week only cemented speculation about the latter: Scott, 69, made waves—and infuriated some McConnell allies—when he bucked the GOP leader’s decision not to lay out a policy agenda for 2022 and instead released his own.

Whereas McConnell wanted to make the election a referendum on [Joe-Joe Biden’s] unpopularity, inflation and other [democrat]failures, Scott unilaterally decided that Republicans should also state what they’re for.

His list of red-meat proposals addressed topics ranging from term limits and finishing Trump’s border wall to nationwide voter ID laws to banning transgender athletes from women’s sports.

Scott’s move opened a rare tactical divide between McConnell and the man leading the party’s efforts to win the Senate.

But despite internal criticism from some in his own party, Scott isn’t soft-pedaling his platform.

He’s spending seven figures from his own campaign account to promote it, starting today.

This weekend, he’ll tout his proposals at the Conservative Political Action Conference.

Provided the 2022 mid-term elections are not stolen by the democrat-communist cult, they will be bloodied and left in a seriously diminished minority status for years to come.

However, the handwriting is on the wall. Political experts are openly warning that even with strong Republican majorities in the U.S. House and the Senate nothing—NOT A DAMN THING—will be accomplished under the current leadership.

Promises to impeach, promises to investigate, and promises to indict, convict, and incarcerate—all talk, all smoke and mirrors unless new leadership is put in place of Senate and House Republicans.

McConnell, like Graham, may be an exceptional conversationalist, however, like Graham, much more often than not that’s all McConnell accomplishes is talk.

Sure, McConnell served a purpose when it came to pushing through President Trump’s three SCOTUS nominations, but as the old phrase asks, ‘What have you done for me lately?’

And old Mitch hasn’t done squat lately.

Sadly, the same situation languishes in the House. If Kevin McCarthy is chosen as our next Speaker, nothing—NOT A DAMN THING—will be accomplished. All promises, zero results.

God speed President Trump.

And God speed to Senator Rick Scott.
