Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell continues to advance President Barack Obama’s agenda, stating that the $1.15 trillion omnibus bill was the best compromise he could secure in the absence of a Republican president. Republican majorities in the House and Senate were not leveraged towards integrating conservative policies to counter Obama’s policies.
Joining CNN’s Jake Tapper on Sunday, McConnell said, “We had to work with a Democratic president who wanted to spend more on the domestic side. If it’d been left up to me, we wouldn’t have added that much back, but nobody is a dictator here. We can’t do things, one party only, in a time of divided government.”
