McConnell will block what he can, but there will be pressure to get clean bills that help Americans and this country passed.
McConnell will not be picking Biden's cabinet and McConnell knows it.

unfortunately the lobbyists pay him a much higher salary, so that's where his loyalties lie.

I'd be cool with Biden going the full four years with interim appointments.

But Biden can repeal every Trump Executive Order and issue his own. And the real, unhindered investigations into Trump and his close circle can begin, as well as the NY AG cases. All the myriad blocked record requests can be resolved, and at the very least, no more right wing judges will be appointed.

His prized 1.5 Billion Dollar Aluminum plant can be tossed into the dust bin.
Just declare the Company a National Security Threat shut the job down and Mitch has no say in it.
Then since we appoint OSHA, EPA and all the rest. Send them to KY by the truck load and make life miserable for all his friends{Donors}
No one would ever be his friend.
Wifey get the Ax soon though.
