Former President Donald Trump on Friday acknowledged the retirement of Rupert Murdoch, who announced this week that he is stepping down from the multi-billion-dollar media empire.

The Republican presidential primary frontrunner took the opportunity to call for new leadership to replace Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), whose health status came under renewed doubts after he experienced another “freeze-up” incident earlier this month.
