Meddling in Missouri: Billy Long Says Mitch McConnell Tried to Get Him to Drop Out of Senate Race
Jordan Dixon-Hamilton 1 Jun 2022
Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is reportedly meddling in Missouri’s U.S. Senate race. Current Senate candidate Rep. Billy Long (R-MO) revealed that McConnell urged him to drop out of the race.
Long told voters at a campaign stop about McConnell’s efforts to thwart his campaign. According to Long, McConnell tried to get him to drop out on multiple occasions.
“The very first time I went to see Mitch, which was early on, he said, ‘you all need to sit down and draw straws or draw high cards.’ And I said, ‘I’m in.’ I mean, I will do that today,” Long told voters on Wednesday evening.
