WASHINGTON _ Democrats' new congressional Enemy No. 1, thanks to his opposition to the party's effort to expand voting rights for everyone: Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
It's a new role for the Kentucky Republican. While Democrats blast away at President Donald Trump, and Republicans try to demonize House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, McConnell was mostly left alone in partisan ads and tweets. The public just didn't know him well enough.
Not anymore. Democrats who took control of the House last month are pushing a sweeping ethics and voting rights package. McConnell declared it dead in his chamber even before it was formally introduced, and went to the Senate floor on four different days to call the proposal a "power grab."
