Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said that the Republican-controlled Senate is a “firewall against" House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's agenda, and that he is “immensely proud of the work the Republican Senate has done,” CNN reports. McConnell has systematically blocked Senate votes on a long list of bills the Democrat-led House of Representatives has passed, on issues from gun control to additional protections for patients with preexisting health problems. McConnell, in a Republican National Convention video recorded from his home state of Kentucky, urged Americans to vote for Republican Senate candidates across the country as well as President Donald Trump. “We'll continue to support American families as we defeat the coronavirus and return our economy to the envy of the world,” McConnell said. Which is why I'm asking you to support Republican Senate candidates across the country and re-elect my friend President Donald Trump.”-Photo: CNN
