After the 2020 election, then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was so concerned about how President Donald Trump would react to a phone call from President-elect Joe Biden that he worked through a back channel to ensure it didn't happen, according to an excerpt of a new book by the journalists Bob Woodward and Robert Costa that was obtained by The Washington Post.
McConnell was worried that a call from Biden would launch Trump into a fury, Woodward and Costa write in "Peril," which is set to be released next week.
So he asked GOP Sen. John Cornyn of Texas to ask Sen. Chris Coons of Delaware, who has a close relationship with Biden, to tell the president-elect not to call Trump, the excerpt says.
Trump refused to accept the results of the election, despite no evidence of mass fraud or major irregularities. He has repeatedly and baselessly claimed that Biden stole the election from him. His false claims helped spark the deadly January 6 insurrection.
