As Trump unleashes wildly unhinged attacks on McConnell for opposing his nominees, veteran congressional observer Norm Ornstein explains what this shows about Trump’s ability to terrorize his party.

The former Senate majority leader couldn’t get a single Republican to vote with him against confirming Tulsi Gabbard as director of national intelligence.

Hours after Pete Hegseth cleared a major procedural hurdle in the Senate, President Trump suggested his embattled nominee may not ultimately be confirmed.

The party should borrow a highly effective move from the outgoing Mitch McConnell—by steadfastly refusing to lend its support to the Trump agenda.

This week’s Republican convention felt more like a religious gathering.

It’s not just the Supreme Court. All three branches of government are in even worse shape than four years ago.

Despite his role in delivering many of the GOP’s most consequential victories, the Kentucky senator is considered by some of his colleagues to be an unbearable moderate. What gives?

Mitch McConnell’s real legacy? He consistently enabled Trump and MAGA for years—then failed to act against Trump when it really could have counted.

Voters grew tired of the chaos of the Trump years. It’s time they were reminded of it.

Hard-right Republicans killed the Senate immigration deal out of fealty to Trump. That’s the perfect opening for Biden to go on the attack.

The GOP’s top dog in the Senate wants to push the big national security supplemental over the line, but too many of his colleagues are following the former president’s lead.

Should the United States supply economic as well as military aid to Ukraine? And does Mitch McConnell still control his caucus like he always has?

Mitch McConnell’s capitulation to the former president exposes the real MAGA.

Senate Republicans aren’t quite ready to think about life after McConnell, but his three potential successors have made their interest known.

Conservatives in the upper chamber aren’t quite as rabid about ousting the president as their counterparts in the House, but it could become their problem soon enough.

As the minority leader’s health concerns spill out in public view, his Senate colleagues have retreated behind closed doors and gerontocratic traditions.

It has as much to do with Biden as it does Trump.

The NLRB last week scored a huge victory for workers seeking to organize. The Senate’s strategy to hit back is just bizarre.

If Kevin McCarthy does what his unhinged caucus wants him to do, he may as well hand over his speakership to the Democrats.

His new deal with House hard-liners is a dead letter in the Senate.
