Amy McGrath knows the image Mitch McConnell has: the steely, cold-but-effective master of the Senate. The tactician who will win at all costs, and who has quietly gone about enacting major pieces of President Donald Trump’s agenda and filling the federal bench with Trump appointees.

The problem, McGrath says, is that this is exactly backwards: The majority leader is the one preventing many of Trump’s central 2016 campaign promises from becoming reality.

“For voters, when they cast a vote for Donald Trump, he said a lot of big things,” McGrath said in an interview for POLITICO’s Women Rule podcast. “He said, ‘We’re going to do big things on infrastructure.’ He said, ‘I’m going to take it to the pharmaceutical industries and I’m going to bring down drug prices.’ He said he was going to fix healthcare. He said all of these things, and for a lot of those things, they haven’t gotten done actually because of Mitch McConnell.” - Politico
