Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell joined me on WHAS Radio for a wide ranging conversation about the Biden Administration's stimulus packages, infrastructure proposals, COVID vaccine access, moving the MLB all-star game over woke politics, and the senate seesaw of having moderate Democrat Joe Manchin voting often with Republicans. .@terrymeiners says @LeaderMcConnell might consider himself still majority leader given how much @Sen_JoeManchin sides with the #GOP.
