Hmm, it looks as though McConnell is saying what he will do when bitem is prez. Not holding votes beforehand. McConnell is reveailng himself as the disgusting dirtbag that he is even though it does appear he at least is planning to wait until bitem is prez. Which will not happen.
Epoch:
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said he would grant floor votes for Joe Biden’s Cabinet nominees, should Republicans retain control of the Senate majority.
“[Biden’s nominees] aren’t all going to pass on a voice vote, and they aren’t all going to make it, but I will put them on the floor,” he told Scott Jennings, an opinion contributor for the Louisville Courier-Journal.
McConnell criticized the Democrats for treating President Donald Trump’s nominees badly and vowed he wouldn’t do the same to Biden’s nominees.
“Well, first of all, I am going to treat him a hell of a lot better than [Senate Minority Leader] Chuck Schumer ever treated Donald Trump,” he told Jennings.
McConnell’s office didn’t immediately respond to a request by The Epoch Times for comment.

Will McConnell and Biden friendship mean a calmer, more functional Washington?

“Well, first of all, I am going to treat him a hell of a lot better than Chuck Schumer ever treated Donald Trump.”
My chat with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell came last week, shortly after he eulogized the Trump Administration and acknowledged Joe Biden as president-elect. His speech on the Senate floor was a crisp packaging of Trump’s successes and a nod to the cranking of America’s democratic gears.
“The Electoral College has spoken,” McConnell said.
With Trump leaving The White House in January, the question on many minds is how McConnell’s and Biden’s relationship will impact policymaking. In McConnell’s estimation, relations between the two parties and two branches of government are bound to be better from the start because the Kentucky Republican does not intend to “bring the administration to its knees” the way Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer did when Trump took over.

“They (Biden’s nominees) aren’t all going to pass on a voice vote, and they aren’t all going to make it, but I will put them on the floor,” McConnell said. Two Biden nominees who face a tough road are Neera Tanden, a hyper-partisan Democratic operative (with detractors on the right and left) nominated for director of the White House Office of Management and Budget; and Xavier Becerra, nominated for secretary of Health and Human Services with an extremist, pro-abortion record that most Senate GOP’ers can’t stomach.
Aside from personnel, McConnell said he interpreted the election results as a message from Americans for the two parties to operate “between the 40-yard lines.” He anticipated that the two parties could find common ground on infrastructure spending, although “we still have to figure out how to pay for it.
“I think the American people expect us to look for areas of agreement in a divided system while setting aside for debate the things we don’t agree on,” McConnell said, a mantra he employed during the recent COVID relief negotiations. McConnell’s position finally prevailed in the year-end package, after months of damaging, partisan intransigence from Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
McConnell described his relationship with Biden as a “friendship,” and noted that he was the only Senate Republican to attend Beau Biden’s funeral. This will be the first time in McConnell’s career that he has known a new president for as long and as well as he has known Biden.
(Rest of article is of course as repulsive as the above)
