Trump-McConnell 2020? Senate head sets himself up as wingman
WASHINGTON — It's not quite "Trump-McConnell 2020," but it might as well be.
As he runs for reelection, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is positioning himself as the president's wingman, his trusted right hand in Congress, transformed from a behind-the-scenes player into a prominent if sometimes reviled Republican like none other besides Donald Trump himself.
"In Washington, President Trump and I are making America great again!" he declared at a rally in Kentucky, his voice rising over protesters.
Other than Democrat Nancy Pelosi — and more recently Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — no current politician has so quickly become such a high-profile object of partisan scorn. McConnell was heckled last weekend at his home state's annual "Fancy Farm" political picnic, and protesters outside his Louisville house hurled so many profanities that Twitter temporarily shut down his account for posting video of them online.
