Looks like Mitch McConnell fears losing his job to a blue wave

Looks like Mitch McConnell fears catching a coronavirus-related condition – losing his job to a blue wave in November

McConnell has been caught personally soliciting resignations from federal judges appointed by the two Bushes and Ronald Reagan. If they retire, Trump can appoint younger men and women. McConnell can then hustle their confirmation through the Senate, but only until yearend.

Letting some 400 House-passed bills languish in his Capitol Hill desk will make it easier for the 78-year-old champion of the rich and powerful to concentrate on his real job: ensuring for decades to come a federal judiciary friendly to Corporate America, monopolists, polluters and, especially, zealous Confederacy lovers.

Kentucky Derby Is Postponed Until September Because of Coronavirus
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/16/sports/horse-racing/kentucky-derby-coronavirus.html
For the first time since World War II, the Kentucky Derby will not take place on the first Saturday in May.

The Derby, the first jewel of horse racing’s Triple Crown, became the latest marquee sporting event forced to postpone because of the deepening coronavirus pandemic.

Tonya Abeln, a spokeswoman for Churchill Downs, said in an email on Monday night that the race would not go ahead as scheduled.

Churchill Downs will hold a conference call on Tuesday morning to announce a makeup date for the race, which is expected to be Sept. 5. The Courier-Journal newspaper in Louisville, Ky., where the race is held, had earlier reported the postponement and the new date.

I found a Newsweek article from today.. It says people are hammering him for wasting 4 days with the recess.
The news that people were pounding on him yesterday, confused me on the 2 timelines.
Thanks

It was not always clear and I had to check up on what they were saying because it didn't sound right. They weren't all that clear about it being past tense.
