After McConnell Calls Election Day Holiday a 'Power Grab' by the Left, Democrats Push Back
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is facing waves of push back for calling legislation that would make Election Day a federal holiday a Democratic “power grab.”
“Their bill would make election day a new paid holiday for government workers, and create an additional, brand-new, paid leave benefit for up to six days for any federal bureaucrat who decides they’d like to hang out at the polls during an election,” said McConnell, speaking on the Senate floor.
“Just what America needs,” he continued, “another paid holiday and a bunch of government workers being paid to go out and work, I assume our colleagues on the other side, on their campaigns.”
McConnell did not explain why he doesn’t think more Republicans would take advantage of this time off, instead summarizing the bill as a “power grab.”
