Tensions within the Republican Party have escalated as several prominent GOP Senators, including Ted Cruz, have openly criticized Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell over his support for a bipartisan border security deal, calling the decision 'spectacularly stupid' and his 'worst' mistake. Some senators see this as their 'opportunity to take him out' of leadership. In response, McConnell has pushed back on his GOP critics, stating that they have already had their chance to replace him after the 2022 midterm elections.
