Mitch McConnell recently froze up in front of cameras in D.C.

According to the Daily Mail, the incident took place at the Trump campaign's South Carolina headquarters in North Charleston, where Trump Jr. openly criticized Republicans who supported funding Ukraine's defense efforts against Russia. He even hinted at having someone specific in mind for McConnell's potential replacement.

"I called out Mitch the Glitch," Trump Jr. said. "Can we find someone who doesn't freeze up? It's like Windows 92. Buffering, buffering, buffering."

"I think in the Senate right now, I mean, I think guys like a J.D. Vance, people who are actually willing to call out the club. I think that's so important," Trump Jr. said.

Vance, 39, was elected to the Senate in 2022 as one of the only Trump-backed Republicans to win their races in what was expected to be a "red-wave" showing for the party during the mid-term election.

"It is funny and I try to do some of this with humor because it drives the point home," Trump Jr. said, referring to the nickname he gave McConnell. "That guy, just like Joe Biden, he'll go out and tell us that Ukraine is the No. 1 priority for Republicans across the country."

Trump Sr. previously opposed a Senate-passed $118 billion package to beef up border protection while funding aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan.

"This Bill is a great gift to the Democrats and a Death Wish for The Republican Party," the former President posted to Truth Social, leading to the bill to die once it got to the GOP-led House.

While Trump Jr. was quick to suggest a replacement for McConnell, he remained evasive when asked about his father's potential running mate.

When questioned about Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina, Trump Jr. simply stated that Scott was a good friend without elaborating further on the matter.

The former First Son also took credit for being one of the first to voice concerns about the suitability of former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley as a vice-presidential candidate.

He clarified, "Everybody hates Nikki Haley on our side of this."
