Today, Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky talked about the need for bipartisan action as he spoke to a Commerce Lexington luncheon.

McConnell said people don't like either party right now and said voters want the parties to work together when they can.

He pointed to his decision to vote for the trillion dollar bipartisan infrastructure Care Act, which secured funding to repair the Brant Spence Bridge up in northern Kentucky.

And even though it's not something I would routinely do, I actually joined Joe Biden in announcing that the Brant Spence Bridge was going to be built.

And miraculously enough, even without tolls.

You know, as you can imagine, I think none of my members were too happy to see me standing by Joe Biden.

But up in northern Kentucky.

But look, I had watched the Obama administration not be able to put it together.

I had a first row seat during the Trump administration.

My wife, his secretary of labor transportation.

So I knew they had been unable to put it together.

And so the question was, when are we ever going to do this?

When are we ever going to do this?

So I ended up being the only member of my party from Kentucky who actually voted for the infrastructure bill.

No matter how the election comes out.

My view is we ought to try to find things we can agree on and do.

Those.

Senator McConnell is also speaking at the Kentucky Farm Bureau's Country Ham Breakfast tomorrow at the state fair.

We'll bring you that coverage tomorrow night right here on Kentucky Edition.
