Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey still believes that bipartisanship is possible, so much so that he’s reached out to an unlikely partner on legislation: Mitch McConnell.
“I don’t want to talk about the bill because we’re actively working on this subject, but it’s something that he and I both care about,” Booker said.
Sen. Jeff Merkley of Oregon holds a much more dour view of McConnell’s legislative intentions when Democrats are in power. In three simple steps, he says, it’s to wink, stall and block.
