Thanks to the genius of science, the historic success of Operation Warp Speed, and the bold action of the Trump Administration, this should mark the beginning of the end of this terrible chapter.  What an announcement. — PolitiTweet.org

The Senate just passed the National Defense Authorization Act. This annual bill will unlock the training, tools, and cutting-edge equipment that our servicemembers and civilian employees need as they bravely defend American lives and American interests. https://t.co/iaAEbtxoAt — PolitiTweet.org

Today I am announcing the Senate swearing in day for the 117th Congress will be Sunday, January 3rd at 12:00 pm. — PolitiTweet.org

Trial lawyers are among Democrats’ most reliable sources of campaign cash. Coincidentally, Democrats say they'd rather not pass *any* more aid (PPP, vaccine distribution, jobless aid) than limit the opportunity for the plaintiffs’ bar to suck money from our nation’s re-opening. — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

Yesterday, Democrats rejected two more GOP aid proposals in the space of two hours. I’ve proposed we set aside remaining sticking points and pass everything we agree on. They say “no.” And they now admit they blocked aid all summer & fall because there was an upcoming election. — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

The Senate knows all about end-of-year drama, but this time the stakes could not be higher. Americans are struggling under the weight of this pandemic. Democrats need to let Congress do our job & pass more relief. We have so much common ground. Let's make law. Let's get it done. — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

Everyone understands this has been a challenging time for local leaders, but pandemics do not erase our First Amendment rights. I am glad that @kyoag is leading the way to defend the religious liberty of Kentuckians and all Americans. https://t.co/1FtSX7w0mr — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

Republicans have spent months proposing more COVID relief. Yesterday I put forward yet another proposal that would invest many billions in workers, laid-off Americans, small businesses, & vaccine distribution. I hope Democrats will finally let us get a bipartisan outcome soon. — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

Attorney General Barr was absolutely right to appoint John Durham to be a Special Counsel on this matter. The nation deserves to know the truth about the egregious abuses of power that took place in 2016 and deserves that justice be done to anyone who broke the law. — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

The American people need more help now. Congress should deliver more COVID relief this year. Even House and Senate Democrats are publicly saying that Speaker Pelosi's and Leader Schumer's all-or-nothing obstruction needs to stop. — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

We are blessed to live in the greatest country the world has ever known. Even in a trying year unlike anything we’ve seen before, we are constantly reminded why. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. https://t.co/TkQfXbq5F2 — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

Our country badly needs the kinds of targeted, urgent COVID relief that Republicans have been trying to pass for months — from job-saving PPP funding to vaccine distribution.  My full statement: https://t.co/ybJ2OJSYf9 — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

For months, Republicans have tried to make bipartisan progress on huge areas of COVID relief where there's no disagreement. Vaccine distribution funds. Another round of the PPP for hard-hit small businesses. But Democrats blocked it all over their unrelated liberal wish-list. — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

.@ChuckGrassley had not missed a single vote in 27 years. Yesterday he paused that streak, on doctors’ orders, while awaiting a COVID test result. The Senate is praying for continued good health for our president pro tempore and looking forward to seeing him again soon. — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

Republicans have tried for weeks to pass another targeted rescue package. It would send hundreds of billions of dollars to schools, unemployment aid, another round of the job-saving PPP, and healthcare.   Democrats repeatedly blocked it all. Let's hope they let us make law soon. — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

Another Democrat demand that’s blocked bipartisan aid: The fixation on a massive slush fund for state & city govt's, unlinked from COVID need. Some states are taking in more tax revenue this fall than they did before the pandemic. It's struggling families who need urgent help. — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

House Democrats’ so-called “HEROES Act” is so unserious that it was condemned by the Speaker's own moderate Democrats the instant she put it out.   Huge tax cuts for rich people in blue states, but no second round of the Paycheck Protection Program? Those are their priorities? — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

Months ago, skeptics dismissed President Trump’s aggressive timelines for vaccines. But our scientists are making history, with a huge assist from Operation Warp Speed. It's sped up research & laid groundwork for fast distribution once a vaccine is confirmed safe and effective. — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

More huge news this morning in COVID-19 vaccine development. The kinds of headlines we've longed for. But we must stay careful for the next weeks and months. Wear our masks. Keep social distance. We've come this far and victory is in sight. Let's not surrender to the virus now. — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

The Trump Administration has made huge strides in the Middle East: taking out terrorist leaders, brokering historic deals, & moving US forces into support roles as Afghans lead the fight for their country. Premature retreat would put this record at risk. https://t.co/egVaLJSIlS — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

It is sad to see leading Democrats including some Governors treat the vaccine news like a mixed blessing because it occurred under a Republican administration. Some things must be bigger than politics. Leaders should be cheering this on, not baselessly undermining science. — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

This week’s news on a COVID-19 vaccine was incredibly promising. All of us have to keep up commonsense precautions in the meantime. The virus is spreading quickly in Kentucky and nationwide, and it doesn’t care whether we’ve gotten bored with wearing masks or social distancing. — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

Today, we reflect on the heroism of America’s veterans and those currently serving in uniform. From the Greatest Generation to our 21st-century fighting force, we owe all veterans our gratitude and respect. Happy Veterans Day. https://t.co/TL2cI46ESm — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

This news confirms what Republicans have said for months: Our country needs more smart, focused relief that is targeted to schools, healthcare, small businesses, & those who are hurting the most. Not the absurd multi-trillion-dollar socialist wish-lists Democrats have demanded. — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

American workers are rebuilding our economy stronger & faster than anyone predicted. Experts predicted double-digit unemployment into 2021. Instead, it’s down to 6.9%. More than 630k new jobs just last month. Too many are still hurting. Our work isn't done. But what progress. — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

Grateful to my Senate Republican colleagues for their unanimous confidence in me to continue serving as Leader. We have a lot more to do to continue fighting for working families and strengthening our great country. https://t.co/Vh8yNkC3Pl — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

Yesterday, we learned one COVID-19 vaccine candidate may be more than 90% effective. This huge good news is a testament to the ingenuity of the American private sector and the historic groundwork laid by Congress and the Trump Administration. https://t.co/TtcD2TpmJC — PolitiTweet.org
