As Republicans point fingers at each other for a poor midterm result this week, some are blaming former President Donald Trump – but others are faulting the party’s Senate leader Mitch McConnell.

Scott is among a handful of senators calling for next week’s leadership elections within the Republican caucus to be delayed. Others include Ron Johnson and Marco Rubio, both re-elected on Tuesday to their Senate seats in Wisconsin and Florida respectively.
“The Republican brand, set by Mitch McConnell on down, is not exciting, is not persuasive, is not convincing to voters,” former Trump White House adviser Stephen Miller said.
But some have come out in defence of the Senate minority leader.
