U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) made the following comments Tuesday night following President Joe Biden's State of the Union Address:
"Well first with regard to Ukraine, we're all inspired by the bravery of the Ukrainian people and the leadership of their stunningly impressive president. The whole world has rallied to the cause – even demonstrations in Russia in opposition to the war. First and foremost, I think at this particular State of the Union, we need to do everything we can to support the Ukrainians. It may be David versus Goliath, but David is holding up pretty well so far.
"With regard to the rest of the President's agenda, it's been a pretty big flop for the American people... raging inflation, open borders, and difficult challenges getting past COVID. The President has had a rough year and he did his best tonight to try to pick himself up and provide some level of optimism but that's not what the American people are feeling right now."
Reaction to Governor Kim Reynolds' (R-IA) Republican Address to the Nation:
"Governor Reynolds represents a Middle American state. She has done an outstanding job managing through the COVID pandemic and has a stunning record of success. We thought the American people ought to hear from the Heartland and that's why Governor Reynolds was chosen to respond to the President tonight."
