Mitch McConnell, the Senate Minority Leader, has openly criticized former President Donald Trump and his influence on the Republican Party, as revealed in a forthcoming biography titled 'The Price of Power' by Michael Tackett. McConnell describes Trump's MAGA movement as 'completely wrong' and suggests that it has severely damaged the party, making it unrecognizable from Ronald Reagan's vision. He attributes Trump's appeal to providing excuses for less successful individuals by claiming they've been cheated, which McConnell sees as distorting the party's image and competitiveness. The biography details McConnell’s personal disdain for Trump, whom he labels a 'narcissist' and 'ill-tempered,' and criticizes Trump’s behavior post-2020 election as 'erratic.' Although McConnell voted to acquit Trump in his second impeachment trial, he privately supported the federal charges against Trump regarding the January 6 Capitol riots. McConnell's commentary highlights a significant rift within the GOP regarding Trump's enduring influence.
