President Donald Trump lashed out at Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell Monday night and sent Republican lawmakers a slide admonishing McConnell for his disloyalty and outlining all he'd done to help secure McConnell's seventh Senate win.
As first reported by Axios, the slide offers up a timeline of McConnell's performance against Democratic challenger Amy McGrath and claims that McConnell's popularity jumped after Trump tweeted and called constituents on his behalf.
McConnell acknowledged President-elect Joe Biden's win against Trump and congratulated the incoming president during a Senate session on December 15.
"The Electoral College has spoken," McConnell said. "So today I want to congratulate President-elect Joe Biden."
McConnell attempted to quash support for Trump's Electoral College challenges. During a call last week, he privately warned GOP senators that supporting Trump's claims of a rigged election would result in a "terrible vote" in the Georgia run-off elections.
McConnell is one of several GOP leaders - including Sens. Thom Tillis and Chuck Grassley who waited several weeks before acknowledging President-elect Biden's win.
