Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., talks to reporters after the Senate Republicans' weekly policy lunch at the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday.The No. 3 Senate Republican, John Barrasso of Wyoming, told a group of voters that he wants to make President Joe Biden a"one-half-term president."
McConnell, R-Ky., the Senate minority leader, has vowed to block Biden's agenda and sharply criticized the administration's policies. McConnell said last month that he is"100 percent" focused on"stopping" Biden's administration. Obama was re-elected for a second term, but Republicans won control of the House after the 2010 midterms and gained the Senate for the final two years of Obama's presidency, which denied him confirmation of a Supreme Court nominee. Republicans lost control of the House during the Trump administration, and Democrats narrowly regained the Senate last year.
"I'm looking forward to a very successful 2022," he said."Republicans want to continue to work on growing the economy, and the Democrats want to grow the government."
