McConnell says he hasn't visited White House in two months due to coronavirus

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said on Thursday that he hasn't visited the White House in two months because of how it responded to the coronavirus.

I understand why Sen. McConnell would want to stay away from the WH. We've been discussing the Trump WH/Campaign's lax attitude about Covid-19 precautions and where it has landed them. To me, that Sen. McConnell is saying that now signals that he's distancing for other reasons too.

Needs proof. I see none.

That's a heads up to his fellow Republican senators in tight races telling them to distance from Trump to help their reelection prospects. It's probably too late.

sounds like damned if you do and damned if you don't
do we distance or not?

Could it also be because he's 78 years old? coincidentally the same age as Biden.

I thought it was appropriate and necessary for buying to be distancing and safeguarding his health. Is this not applicable to 78-year-old Mitch McConnell as well?

Yes it is applicable. Never said that wasn't a valid concern. He waited until after Trump got C-19 and 25 days before Election Day to say that though. I think there were multiple reasons for that. Maybe I should move this thread to the Op-Ed forum.

Did he need to say it at a specific time? There are many person's in govt..of that age... Do they need to say it . Or is it safe to assume they are playing it safe...cause...global pandemic....

If he had said it earlier it would have been safe to assume that "cause... global pandemic" was his only concern. I think it's safe to assume cause...Senate Majority...is a concern now also. That's my opinion.

That's cool. No disagreement. Could also be because if the rampant covid. Just maybe

Moscow Mitch went half way. His real point was that the Trump/White House policies toward Covid are reckless and he didn’t want to subject himself to those risks. But he couldn’t say that without incurring Trump’s wrath, so he just said their policies were different than the Senate policies. Yeah, different. As in reckless.
