The Conservative Political Action Coalition gave Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) a “conservative rating” of 68%, about on par with Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and ahead of Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), who received a score of 54%.
McConnell’s score this year is 12% higher than last year when CPAC gave him a rating of 56%, but the Senate GOP leader finds himself far behind other Republicans in the conference like Sens. Mike Lee (R-UT), J.D. Vance (R-OH) and Rand Paul (R-KY). Lee was the only Senate Republican to receive a 100%.
