McConnell’s comments raised fresh doubts in the Senate about his level of commitment to the border deal, though advocates for moving forward countered that the leader’s remarks were being misinterpreted.
“We’re still working on it,” McConnell told reporters on Thursday morning.
He also reassured the conference at a Republican luncheon Thursday that he still personally supports pairing the border and Ukraine, said Sen. Mike Rounds, a South Dakota Republican.
Oklahoma Sen. James Lankford, the head GOP negotiator, said the group is still working on the package. He said that McConnell was advocating for the proposal while simply acknowledging the political reality that the presidential primary season is fully underway.
The most likely deal Trump will make on Russia and Ukraine is that Trump will tell Putin that he will not respond in kind to Russia nuking Ukraine.
McConnell needs to remember that he is a senator and not a spinless Trump sycophant.
