Mitch McConnell and Senator Cory Gardner hit a new low this week as the Senate marks two months since it “held a roll call vote on passage of any type of legislation.” Despite the pressing demand to protect patients with pre-existing conditions from the GOP-led effort to erase coverage protections or urgent need to fix the Republican tax hike on Gold Star families, McConnell hasn’t called a roll call vote to pass bipartisan legislation in two months.
Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee spokesman Stewart Boss issued the following statement:
“A lot can happen in two months — unless you’re Mitch McConnell and Cory Gardner. After shutting down the government for the longest period in American history, you’d think Senators McConnell and Gardner would get to work on the issues important to their states but they’re too busy caving to the White House and protecting their own political careers to hold a roll call vote to pass a single piece of legislation that could help their constituents. Even for the McConnell-led majority, this is a shameful new low.”
