Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) laid blame on former President Donald Trump for the Republicans’ disappointing midterm election cycle. “Our ability to control the primary outcome was quite limited in ’22 because the support of the former president proved to be very decisive in these primaries,” McConnell told reporters after being asked if he would play a larger role in selecting candidates in 2024. “So my view was do the best you can with the cards you’re dealt. Hopefully, in the next cycle, we’ll have quality candidates everywhere and a better outcome.” McConnell added th...

In his speech, Tuberville falsely claimed Democrats actively support crime and condemned “people that do the crime” seeking “reparation,” in a reference to black people advocating for actions that compensate African American descendants for the slavery’s damages, which some Democrats support. “[Democrats are] not soft on crime. They’re pro-crime. They want crime,” the senator said on Saturday. “They want ...
