WASHINGTON — Minutes after Mitch McConnell threatened to hold yet another Supreme Court seat open if he reclaims the role of Senate Majority Leader, Democratic candidates aspiring to join the body jumped on the warning as a rallying cry for their candidacies.
“Let’s make damn sure he’s not,” tweeted John Fetterman, one of the leading candidates to replace retiring GOP Sen. Pat Toomey in Pennsylvania. A donation link to his campaign website accompanied the retort.
“Folks, we need to expand our Senate majority to stop Mitch McConnell. Our best chance is by defeating Ron Johnson and flipping Wisconsin’s Senate seat,” replied Sarah Godlewski, a Democratic Senate candidate in Wisconsin.
