RINO Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell pulled a fast one.
Donald Trump will be furious when he finds out.
And that’s because Mitch McConnell stabbed Donald Trump in the back in one awful way.
Prediction markets and pundits favor Donald Trump to win the White House.
But Trump’s Presidency will be dead on arrival unless Republicans capture the Senate so the GOP can confirm Trump’s cabinet picks and Supreme Court nominees.
Republicans need to flip two seats to win back the majority in the Senate.
While polls show the GOP candidates leading in Democrat-held seats in West Virginia and Montana, the Senate race out in Texas could cost Republicans the majority.
Democrat Collin Allred raked in $30 million last fundraising quarter from Hollywood, Big Labor, and Wall Street to defeat Texas incumbent Ted Cruz.
A poll from the McConnell-aligned Senate Leadership Fund (SLF) found Cruz leading Allred by just one point.
Despite the narrow margin in the polls – and the fact that Democrats winning this seat could derail hopes of a Republican Senate majority – McConnell’s SLF refused to spend one penny on the race.
Cruz appeared on Mark Levin’s show to warn viewers that McConnell left him twisting in the wind because McConnell wants to punish conservatives for speaking out against his sellouts to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
“Mitch McConnell runs the largest Republican super PAC in the country and has $400 million but that super PAC is used to reward the Republican senators who obey him and to punish those who dare to stand up him,” Cruz stated.
Cruz explained he barely won his last re-election campaign by three points when Democrat Beto O’Rourke raised $79 million in 2018 and McConnell didn’t put a dime into Texas.
“In 2018 I was in what was at the time the most expensive Senate race in U.S. history. I was being outspent 3-to-1. He had $300 million, he spent zero in Texas. I won anyway but barely, by less than 3 points,” Cruz stated.
Cruz said he’s facing a repeat of that battle, but this time the polls are closer.
“This time around he has $400 million. I’m being massively outspent again. [Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.)] is spending millions. And yet he spent zero,” Cruz said of McConnell.
Cruz opposed McConnell’s surrender to Kamala Harris on gun control, the Green New Deal, raising the debt ceiling, and passing trillions in budget-busting government funding bills.
Now Cruz is telling Fox News viewers that Mitch McConnell wants to make Cruz pay the price to send a message to other conservative opponents of the D.C. swamp – even if it hurts Republicans chances at the majority.
“People wonder at home, ‘How come no Republicans stand up and have courage and stand up to Mitch and leadership?’ And the answer is if you stand up and say ‘no,’ it costs you $10 or $20 or $30 [million], or even $40 million,” Cruz concluded.
