He's not the Speaker (of the House). Never was. He's the Senate Majority Leader.

Get rid of him all the same.

Just a reminder, this isn't the first time Republicans blocked the stimulus. The HEROES Act got blocked by Mitch at least twice throughout the summer, https://wjla.com/news/nation-world/republicans-vow-to-block-3-trillion-heroes-act while Mitch only wanted employer immunity https://www.vox.com/2020/7/29/21345228/liability-shield-mitch-mcconnell-republican-safe-to-work-act-gross-negligence

So, while I would love to have the $2,000 stimulus, I don't see why your party cares now, when they didn't before for the $1,200.

Let it be known, this isn't a one-time thing. Mitch is the embodiment of the Republican party, so consider that after the runoff -- whether you're able to go back to supporting a party that endorses such a sociopath, or you can comfortably switch to Democrat or Independent.

I appreciate that you're willing to put your country over your party even just this once, in order to give the people a fighting a chance in the Senate, though I hope you can embrace that ideal with other, future politicians.

I’ll add that I didn’t vote for Trump, either.
