Democrats share their fears about Mitch McConnell’s successor
Few people like Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell less than Senator Elizabeth Warren. In 2017, during the confirmation vote for Donald Trump’s attorney general nominee Jeff Sessions, he led Republicans to silence her when she called out the then-Alabama Senator’s racism. McConnell infamously said, “She had appeared to violate the rule. She was warned. She was given an explanation. Nevertheless, she persisted.” His push for unlimited money in politics has created the exact type of plutocratic system that Warren rails against.
