Mitch McConnell is giving up one leadership role in the Senate for another — head of the Republican resistance should President-elect Donald Trump overreach.
A coping mechanism I’ve adopted since the election of Donald Trump, a man more deserving of prison than the presidency, is to look for reasons for even the slightest optimism about the nation’s governance over the next four years. To that end, this Thanksgiving I’m grateful for the Republican “Grim Reaper,” Mitch McConnell. Really.
That posture will surely ruffle the feathers of an “America First” president enamored of dictators and disdainful of allies. “Opposition to Ukraine is about as much nonsense as Biden wasn’t legitimately elected,” McConnell says in a bite at Trump in a new biography, “The Price of Power.” I’m not naive.
