McConnell Works to Freeze Support for Campaign Bill

“Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is pulling out all the stops to make sure not a single Republican senator backs the campaign finance and ethics reform bill that House Democrats are set to pass on Friday,” The Hill reports.

“McConnell, a longtime opponent of campaign finance reform who battled the late Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) over the issue, made clear in December that the House proposal would never see floor time in the Senate.”

“He’s continued to pummel the legislation, sending a stern warning to any GOP colleague who may be thinking about supporting it.”
