McConnell On Democratic Nomination: “Choice Facing Working Americans Will Remain The Same”

WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) delivered the following remarks today on the Senate floor regarding the Democratic nomination for president:

"Fortunately, a despicable act of political violence failed. But just two days ago, a different decision succeeded in erasing the will of millions of American voters.

"Leading Washington Democrats prevailed upon President Biden to toss out primary results and leave the nomination in limbo while party bosses anoint another candidate.

"One thing is for certain: if they formally nominate President Biden's preferred successor, the choice facing working Americans will remain the same.

"Vice President Harris owns this Administration's record. Her fingerprints are all over the past four years of failure.

"She's cast tie-breaking votes for radical judicial nominees, for soft-on-crime prosecutors, and for the reckless spending her party's top economists actually condemned.

"She's flouted her responsibilities as the Administration's 'border czar,' and presided over the worst border crisis in American history.

"The American people cannot afford four more years of open borders, violent crime, or historic inflation. In November, they may well reject it."
