Another Big McConnell Gamble Set to Pay Off

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) “has described holding up President Obama’s Supreme Court pick for a year as one of his proudest achievements, ‘the most consequential decision I’ve ever made in my entire public career,’” the Washington Post reports.

“It looks likely he will soon get another big Supreme Court win to put up next to that: Confirming Brett M. Kavanaugh after the judge was accused by three women of sexual misconduct, a scandal that has pitched the Senate and the country into a divisive and partisan debate over gender and power.”
