Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell hinted that the Democrats should not hold their breath waiting for help from Republicans to pass the energy and health care bills they are writing with little to no GOP input, especially now that they technically have a filibuster-proof majority with the addition of Minnesota Democrat Al Franken.
“Well, I would say our Democratic friends now have their long-sought 60 votes,” McConnell said. “The American people will fully understand that they own the government, the executive branch, the House, and the Senate. And they’re waiting to see the results of their programs.”
