this will hurt senate republicans as they can be painted as obstructionist. that being said, i think mcconnell thinks trump will lose and wants to make things as bad as possible for president biden
This worries me in that regard. Lots of signs have pointed to McConnell expecting Biden to win, and it just proves what we already know: with split government, a Biden Presidency will accomplish very little in Congress
Thing is though, moves like this increase the chances the GOP loses its senate majority and thus decreases the chances of split government next year. Now, Biden and the Democratic senate can swoop in and be the heroes passing the stimulus bill that provides relief to millions of Americans.
So that's why I'm a little confused as to McConnell's motives here. He is actually hurting his own chance of remaining Majority Leader more than anything.
