Former President Donald Trump is attributing the loss of his preferred candidate in the Kentucky gubernatorial election, Daniel Cameron, to a problematic association with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).
“Daniel Cameron lost because he couldn’t alleviate the stench of Mitch McConnell. I told him early that’s a big burden to overcome,” President Trump wrote in a Wednesday morning post on Truth Social. “McConnell and [Mitt] Romney are Kryptonite for Republican candidates. I moved him up 25 points, but the McConnell relationship was ’too much to bear.'”
