Mitch McConnell applauds Senate passage of the CARES Act. The measure will rush assistance to American workers, families, small businesses, and health care providers
Read more about the CARES Act here:
The way Blackjewel has treated these miners in Harlan County is shameful and outrageous. These miners need to be paid in full for their work. The miners need to be made whole, and the company needs to be held accountable for its horrific mismanagement.

: “As a strong defender of the First Amendment, I believe Americans have the right to peacefully protest. However, today’s action toward Governor Beshear is unacceptable. There is no place for hate in Kentucky.”
Senator McConnell has served, by the unanimous votes of his
@SenateGOP
colleagues, as the Senate Republican Leader since the 110th Congress. He is the longest-serving Senate Republican Leader in U.S. history and is only the 2nd Kentuckian to ever serve as Senate Majority Leader.
Grateful to my Senate Republican colleagues for their unanimous confidence in me to continue serving as Leader. We have a lot more to do to continue fighting for working families and strengthening our great country.

@LeaderMcConnell
: The country deserves a thorough and immediate explanation of what led to the events of Monday. Attorney General Garland and the Department of Justice should already have provided answers to the American people and must do so immediately.

"Let’s have no lectures about how Pres. should immediately, cheerfully accept preliminary election results from same characters who just spent 4 yrs refusing to accept the validity of the last election… And who insinuated this one would be illegitimate, too, if they lost again."

McConnell denies request to delay defense bill to after debates: 'Come on'
“Apparently some of our Democratic friends need to go hit the presidential campaign trail. They can't be here because they have to go campaign."
I was surprised to hear my colleague the Democratic Leader call for postponing this defense legislation so Democrats running for president can skip town. National security comes first. The Republican majority will be right here, working and voting to make America stronger.
