Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Thursday said he believes all Republicans will oppose Sen. Joe Manchin’s (D-W.Va.) “compromise” on the Democratic party’s election-related bill that has been dubbed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and other top Democrats as the “For the People Act.”
McConnell in a statement pushed back against Manchin’s slimmed-down elections compromise, saying that it still retains the partisan bill’s “rotten core.”
The West Virginia senator’s version of S.1, the “For The People Act,” is still “an assault on the fundamental idea that states, not the federal government, should decide how to run their own elections,” McConnell said.
