Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) believes the Republican Party is moving away from Trumpism and views the former president as a weight on his chances of reclaiming the majority next year, the Lexington Herald Leader reports.
In comments to the authors of Peril, McConnell called Trump, “a fading brand. Retired. OTTB as they say in Kentucky — off-the-track Thoroughbred.”
He added: “Sucking up to Donald Trump is not a strategy that works.”
