At RCP, A.P Stoddard reports:
- Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is all that is left of what was once the Republican establishment.
- Sure, there are still some GOP voters who agree with McConnell, and he has like-minded lieutenants serving in the GOP Senate leadership alongside him. But there is a new MAGA establishment now that didn’t exist two years ago when McConnell thought he was done with Donald Trump. It has taken over the House Republican conference and the Republican National Committee, and will dominate the upcoming 2024 presidential nominating contest.
- To put it nicely, McConnell is largely alone on an island in the Republican Party, an outcast.
