Analysis: How long can Mitch McConnell ignore Donald Trump? - 1 minute read




"I do think we need to be thinking about the future and not the past," McConnell told CNN's Manu Raju last month when asked about candidates embracing Trump. "I think the American people are focusing on this administration, what it's doing to the country, and it's my hope the '22 election will be a referendum on the performance of the current administration, not a rehash of suggestions about what may have happened in 2020."

You'll notice that McConnell didn't say the words "Donald Trump" at all in that quote. In fact, the Senate minority leader appears to be doing his damndest to not ever utter the name of the former President publicly these days.

The problem with that strategy? Donald Trump.

The former President simply can't stop talking about McConnell. Trump's latest came on the day after Thanksgiving when he did an interview with Fox Business.
