Schumer and McConnell Prepare to Take On MAGA

GURPS · Nov 17, 2022

But Trump and the MAGA faithful are facing other challenges. Now that Mitch McConnell is secure in his position as Senate Minority Leader, he is free to hold his ground. Breitbart reported that Majority Leader Chuck Schumer made an appearance on CNN’s “This Morning” on the 14th. During the segment, Schumer said that he had plans to talk with McConnell about “ditching” MAGA Republicans. He told Kaitlan Collins:

“I’m going to say to the Republicans in the Senate who are not the MAGA Republicans, stop letting them lead your party. Work with us to get things done. I intend to sit down with Mitch McConnell and express that. I intend to sit down with him and say we should be working together. You’re not going to get the extremists in your party to work with anybody, but the rest of us can work together and get some real things done for the American people.”

Schumer was confident that he would succeed because of the failure of the Red Wave to materialize, crediting that to a fear of MAGA and its inherent threat to democracy. And as this footage courtesy of MRCTV indicates, Schumer likely found a willing ear in McConnell.
