Mitch McConnell is working a behind-the-scenes campaign to make sure Trump-backed 'goofballs' don't win their primaries: report
I guess Moscow Mitch is good for something?!! Some of Trump's former administration personnel are also working behind the scenes, to make sure Trump does not get back into the white-house too?!!
Sen. Mitch McConnell is trying to thwart former President Donald Trump's efforts to shape the GOP, The New York Times reported on Sunday.
McConnell and a team of allies have, for months, been leading a behind-the-scenes campaign in which they try to recruit potential Senate candidates who could go up against Trump-backed picks. It's an effort to gain a GOP majority in the Senate, The Times reported.
The campaign consists of phone calls, meetings, and polling memos, the paper said.
Even after Trump vacated office last January, lawmakers have continued to argue that he maintains a tight hold on the GOP.
Last year, for example, Sen. Lindsey Graham said he wanted to leverage Trump's influence to ensure that the Republican party takes back the House and Senate in 2022.
In December, Graham suggested that Trump will continue to shape the political sphere and party leaders need to find a way to work with him to avoid getting ostracized.
