Great choice since he led the filibuster a couple years ago.
DITTO!!!!!
Plus it gets the right wing side on the side of the bill. The question is will the moderates/left wing republicans vote for it too.
Actually this is a smart move by McConnell as it’s easy to complain about the bill that comes out of committee—especially if you formally ran a filibuster against previous bills. This takes one of the strongest voices out of the mix if the bill isn’t that great.
