From Newsweek:

Former President Donald Trump mocked Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell‘s endorsement of him on Sunday as a “painful day” for the senator during a campaign rally in North Carolina.

McConnell, who has led the Republican Party in the U.S. Senate since 2007, has notably clashed with Trump, the GOP presidential nominee, following the 2020 election. In private, McConnell called Trump “stupid” and “despicable,” according to a biography about the senator that was published last week and while in public, he said that Trump was “practically and morally responsible for provoking” the U.S. Capitol riot that occurred on January 6, 2021.

Meanwhile, Trump has also bashed McConnell after his election loss, claiming the senator was “hanging by a thread.”

Ultimately, McConnell put his concerns aside and endorsed Trump in the 2024 election against Vice President Kamala Harris rather than stand against the former president as some high-profile Republicans have done throughout the cycle. McConnell had promised to support the Republican nominee “regardless of who it is” and that Trump “earned the nomination.”
