Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., slammed Democrats for choosing former Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear to provide the Democratic response to President Trump’s speech to Congress tonight, arguing that the “Obamacare disaster” that he presided over continues to harm the state.

“Obamacare has pushed Kentucky’s insurance market to the brink of collapse, and now Democrats want to throw a victory party,” McConnell said Tuesday on the Senate floor. “I’m not sure how else to interpret their choice to respond to the president’s address tonight.”
