Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and President Joe Biden may come from opposite sides of the political spectrum, but that does not mean McConnell will paint Biden as a villain.
McConnell recently called Biden a “good guy” — a sentiment former President Donald Trump doesn’t share.
According to The Hill, Trump has tried to villainize Biden, saying he was the “corrupt mastermind behind schemes to steal elections and persecute political opponents,” per the outlet.
McConnell has endorsed Trump for president, but claims there are a slew of reasons why Biden should not be president.
“I know Joe Biden pretty well. He’s a good guy; I like him personally,” McConnell said in Louisville Tuesday.
McConnell was referring to the more than 20 years he and Biden spent in the Senate and the deals they worked on when Biden was vice president.
Even though he may like Biden the man, he doesn’t like Biden the politician.
For example, he never believed Biden’s efforts to portray himself in 2020 as a moderate.
“I never thought he was moderate in the Senate, but he ran as a moderate,” he said. “But as soon as the president got elected, he pretty much signed up with the far left of the Democratic Party, which has created another set of a problem for all of you who are in business.
