Former President Donald Trump said Democrats would have had a 60-seat majority in the Senate if it wasn’t for him and blamed Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) for why the Republicans lost control of the chamber in the 2020 elections.

Trump made the claim on June 12 during an event in Wisconsin, in which he appeared on a video with MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell.
