Mitch McConnell

Several Republicans Senators didn’t make a fuss this time, perhaps because the Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell realized the negative reaction it had created. But by allowing her appointment, the Republicans are clinging desperately to cripple Joe Biden before Donald Trump returns in 2024.

The impeachment trial of former president Donald Trump ended with a vote against conviction but with a surprise post-vote public admission by the Republican Minority Leader Mitch McConnell that, “Trump is morally and practically responsible” for the insurrection.

Republicans have already signalled that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell thinks he will wield veto power over Biden’s Cabinet nominees. McConnell has done more than any human being in recent history to destroy Senate bipartisanship entirely, transforming American politics into a naked war for power.
