McConnell Already Plotting Out His Own Re-Election

“On Monday morning, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell huddled with a few top aides at the National Republican Senatorial Committee’s Capitol Hill headquarters — but the 2018 midterms weren’t on the agenda,” Politico reports.

“Instead, they pored over plans for McConnell’s own far-off 2020 reelection campaign.”

“The early discussions, which were detailed by more than a half-dozen of McConnell’s closest advisers and allies, reflects the leader’s long-held penchant for intensive — some would say obsessive — preparedness and planning.”
