WASHINGTON (AP) – The Latest on President Donald Trump’s criticism of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (all times EDT):

8 p.m.

President Donald Trump is escalating his feud against Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

Trump was asked if McConnell might have to think about stepping aside if he doesn’t deliver on the president’s agenda of health care, taxes and infrastructure. The president says that if McConnell can’t make progress on those issues, “then you can ask me that question.”

Trump calls McConnell’s failure to pass a health care bill last month “a disgrace.”
