President Joe Biden described Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) as a “rational Republican” because of his willingness to support gun control.
On May 27, 2022, Breitbart News reported McConnell tapped Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) to be his gun control liaison, working with the Democrats to secure “bipartisan” legislation.
FOX News noted Biden reacted to McConnell’s gun control support on Monday by describing him as “rational.”
Axios reported that Biden spoke of McConnell and Cornyn as a team, hoping they have come to understand it is time to move past the stalemate on gun control. He said he hopes they have come to a “recognition on their part that they can’t continue like this.”
Biden went on to explain the there is very little he can do regarding gun control on his own, which is why he needs Republican votes in the Senate.
