‘Broken down hack politician’: Trump lashes out after McConnell laments that ‘candidate quality’ could keep Republicans from taking Senate

Former President Donald Trump is blasting Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell over comments that suggest Republicans could fail to flip the Senate this fall based on what the Kentucky lawmaker called “candidate quality.”

Writing on his social-media platform over the weekend, Trump disparaged McConnell as a “broken down hack politician” and said the veteran GOP senator should spend more time and money helping the candidates.
