Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell may only be the Minority Leader these days but he has his sights set on the future, and that future involves stopping the Joe Biden agenda.
The senator appears on the radio show of conservative Hugh Hewitt on Monday and made it known that if he regains the leadership position after the 2022 midterm elections it is unlikely that Biden will get any Supreme Court Justice approved, if a position becomes available.
“Well, I think in the middle of a presidential election, if you have a Senate of the opposite party of the president, you have to go back to the 1880s to find the last time a vacancy was filled,” he said after Hewitt asked how he would handle a Supreme Court vacancy this time if he were majority leader, Politico reported.
