Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) sounded a pessimistic note on Friday morning amid President Trump’s renewed calls for comprehensive stimulus legislation to address increasing financial pain caused by coronavirus pandemic the ahead of the November 3 election.

“We do need another rescue package,” McConnell said at an event in Kentucky, “but the proximity election and the differences of opinion about what is needed at this particular juncture are pretty vast.”

He puts no pressure on Pelosi - doesn’t even mention her name - because Senate GOP doesn’t want any stimulus bill, not even a slim one. They are rooting for Trump to lose on Nov 3

If he loses, I so hope Mitch and at least five of his RINO colleagues also lose. Actually, I want them to lose anyway. I want Trump to win and McConnell to lose.

Mitch is afraid of her!

I think he goes whichever way the wind blows. He is not helping Trump with his comments this week regarding Corona Virus and now this.

For a couple of years, Trump could do deals with a Democrat Senate. He can’t deal with the brand of Republicans who currently run the Senate. Once he’s got Barrett approved he should cut Mitch loose. Then Trump should start building a MAGA Republican caucus by primarying the RINOs who run the GOP caucus now.

What do you mean “lose”? We don’t have the Senate. It’s run by RINOs who hate the MAGA agenda. I want them out and replaced by MAGA Republicans. That may take a few years but the process has to get started

Actually they are saving the Republic from Trump caving to a Pelosi ransom demand of another $2.4 trillion loaded with provisions about green climate deal and fraud voting.

From carton253: I’ve see who is running against Mitch. You don’t want her in the Senate.

McConnell is running against Amy McGrath who self-proclaims to the most far-left person in Kentucky. I sometimes have problems with McConnell, but compared to Amy McGrath it's a no-brainer.

You sound like a Bush-McConnell brand of Republican. I’ll bet a chicken dinner that you supported someone else in the primaries, not “outsider” Trump. Am I right?

I don’t care. He has blocked Trumps agenda for 4 years. He needs to go.

Then you are being very foolish. Schumer will be majority leader and absolutely nothing will be done.
