McConnell called Trump ‘stupid,’ ‘despicable’ in private after 2020 election, according to new book

Mitch McConnell privately called Donald Trump “stupid,” a “narcissist,” and a “despicable human being,” according to a forthcoming biography. The book, “The Price of Power,” reveals McConnell’s harsh criticisms of Trump, particularly following the 2020 election and January 6. Despite these private remarks, McConnell endorsed Trump’s 2024 campaign, reflecting a complex political relationship. The biography, based on McConnell’s personal diaries, is set to release before Election Day.
