McConnell: Trump has ‘some pretty rabid isolationists over at’ DOD
- Mitch McConnell, former Senate Majority Leader from Kentucky, said on Friday that there are 'pretty rabid isolationists' at the Department of Defense, possibly including the vice president.
- He made these remarks in a Politico interview following Trump's recent military strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities and amid intraparty debates over foreign policy and legislation.

- These comments highlight McConnell's ongoing effort to steer Trump toward interventionism and mark his final months in the Senate amid GOP divisions on foreign and domestic policy.
