Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell delivered a blistering critique Wednesday on the Senate floor of President Joe Biden’s speech calling for changes to the upper chamber’s filibuster rule, calling the president’s remarks “profoundly unpresidential.”

“Look, I have known, liked, and personally respected Joe Biden for many years,” McConnell said. “I did not recognize the man at the podium yesterday.”
