GOP donors “furious” with Republicans who backed infrastructure, including McConnell

Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) told his colleagues this week top party donors were “furious” with the number of Republicans — including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell — who voted for the bipartisan infrastructure bill, two sources familiar with his remarks tell Axios’ Alayna Treene…

He added that some donors had also been paying attention to Trump’s statements, one of the sources said, which have included the former president calling the Republicans “RINOs” who “should be ashamed of themselves.”

Scott’s remarks landed a bit awkward, the second source told Axios, given many in the room not only voted for the infrastructure package but helped craft it.

The day before the lunch, eight Republicans also attended the White House signing ceremony for the bill on the South Lawn.
