Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Thursday said that he's going to do everything in his power to help fellow GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski win reelection this November.

"It's important for Lisa to be reelected. She's one of the few, sort of moderates in the middle of the Senate," the top Republican said during an interview with Axios' Jonathan Swan.

McConnell praised Murkowski, who's served in the Senate for 20 years, as "a key player in advancing bipartisan legislation."

"We're going to do everything we can to make sure she's successful," he said.

Turtle gets Murky, Milt, Grahamnesty and others do his dirty work in helping the democrats, while he is quietly sitting back. Then when the elections come around he comes out to help them.

Nice little thing he has going on there. This is why we have business as usual with the Repubs get a majority. Nothing substantial happens- placeholder till the dems win back the majority.

None of the conservative senators can contradict Mitch, because then they don't get anywhere.

If McConell continues to run the Republicans in the Senate, the GOP is not a party worth saving.

Murkowski votes for confirmation of a enabler of infant and child rape, abuse, and torture. That makes Murkowski one too. McConnell supports Murkowski and we already know about McConnell’s tastes for little boys. These are sick people and have no business being in government at any level.

I agree. All one need do is go look at the ‘homes’ they purport as their residences in their respective states and then go see where they ACTUALLY live in DC or Virginia....

This is why in certain cases, it may be something to consider to let the rat win - like with Murky. Why should conservatives have any loyalty for her or Milt? Conservatives have a better chance next time around with a fresh candidate. That is a way for some of these old timers to spend more time with the grandkids.

Anybody that’s been in the U.S. Senate for 20 years doesn’t deserve praise. They are only there for the power, and money they have been able to confiscate over those years. They aren’t there for the people of their State.

Well said!!! 2 terms for senate then out you go 6 for congressman!!

McConnell is another example of why the 17th Amendment should be repealed. Would the Kentucky legislature do worse?

For those of you who are posting about RINOs, let me point out that it doesn’t get much more real that the (elected) Senate Majority Leader.

McConnell, Romney, Paul Ryan, Kevin McCarthy, and, yes, Liz Cheney and Lisa Murkowski - THESE ARE THE REAL REPUBLICANS.

If you are a Republican, THIS is what you support. If you ELECT Republicans, this is what you are going to get.

Mitch is terrified he has to be in the majority come November. He's doing everything he can to help prevent that kind of stress on his work load and get the democrats their victories.<<<

That's it in a nutshell!! All the GOPe love being in the minority..that way they can give the Dems what they want in exchange for a few minor tid-bits because they are in the minority...and use those tid-bits to get reelected

If they ever get a majority they still give the Dems what they want in the name of “bipartisanship”Murky and Susan Collins are the perfect examples ..

If it is a choice of Al Gross (D) or Lisa Murkowski (likely scenario), I will vote for the Democrat for spites sake. Sorry, not sorry. Democrats are going to vote heavy for Murkowski in the primary and may overcome Tshibaka. Likewise it will be Democrats that keep Romney in place.

“We’re going to do everything we can to make sure she’s successful,” he said. Everything? McConnell probably knows a thing or two about stealing elections.
