Trump again blames McConnell for GOP losing Senate majority

Former President Donald Trump appeared via live video during MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell's MAGA Frank Free Speech rally in New Richmond, Wisconsin, on Saturday, telling the crowd that "if it wasn't for me, right now the Senate would be 60-40" with a Democratic majority, instead of a 50-50 split. Trump argued that he is to thank for Republicans retaining some leverage in the upper chamber "because I made teleconference calls … speaking to tens of thousands of people, for congressional candidates and senators." He also suggested Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) was to blame for the GOP losing two seats in Georgia earlier this year, which gave Democrats their slim majority. McConnell, Trump said, "hurt us very, very badly in Georgia … we never should have lost those two seats."
