The welcome Republicans to his hometown of Louisville while an adviser to President Joe Biden spoke to Democrats, our dew Leffler has more on both.
>> It's arguable.
If Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell represents today's GOP, even he says it's hard to wrangle his colleagues a little bit like being a groundskeeper cemetery.
>> Everybody's done it, but no one is listening.
>> But Kentucky Republicans welcome to McConnell with open arms in Louisville Wednesday, Kentucky Senate President Robert Stivers applauds McConnell's character four-sided global agenda and his role in thwarting President Obama's pick for the U.S. Supreme Court and ultimately shaping what it is today.
>> That it would be up to the Trump administration to a 0.3 conservative justices to the United States Supreme Court.
>> That doesn't sit right with Tom Perez and adviser to President Joe Biden.

Regardless of what you're doing right now, you are doing remarkably important work.
>> Most states are now controlled by Republican State.
House is a welcome change for the longtime or McConnell.

>> You believe in the dignity of America and our democracy.
>> Everything is on the line and we must get to work.
>> And McConnell warns of what a Democratic administration or Congress could mean a lot.
But the soon.
>> Our worst nightmare.
Democrats window.
What else?
The House, the Senate first thing I do is get rid of the filibuster.
You'll have to do stage.
They should.
Puerto Rico.
That 4 new Democratic senators and purpose to it.
The next thing they'll do.
Mister Pack.
The Supreme Court.
I feel very strongly.
That the way.
You get the policy you want is to win elections.
Not to break the rules.
