McConnell vows to hold votes on Biden's Cabinet picks
By Jordain Carney - 12/21/20 06:08 PM EST

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is pledging to hold votes on President-elect Joe Biden's Cabinet picks if Republicans retain control of the chamber's majority next year.

McConnell, in an interview with former adviser Scott Jennings that was published Monday, predicted that Republicans would be more receptive to Biden's nominees than Democrats were to President Trump's in 2017.

They "aren’t all going to pass on a voice vote, and they aren’t all going to make it, but I will put them on the floor," McConnell said.


He added that he would treat Biden "a hell of a lot better than [Senate Minority Leader] Chuck Schumer [D-N.Y.] ever treated Donald Trump.”

Which party will control the Senate next year will be decided by two runoff elections in Georgia scheduled for Jan. 5.

The GOP leader hasn't said how many of Biden's Cabinet picks he would let get through on the first day of the new administration.

Just stop, Mitch!  You already proclaimed Biden the winner of this election!  Now you try to show us how tough you are?  Not buying it.  They think we're stupid.
