Similar Stories to Trump, Mcconnell Insist They’re Together For Gop Agenda on Bing News

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell pledged Monday to work together on the GOP goal of overhauling federal taxes, proclaiming that despite reports to the contrary their relationship is just fine. “We’re probably now closer than ever before,” Trump said alongside McConnell in a hastily scheduled joint news conference in the White House Rose Garden. “My relationship with this gentleman is outstanding,” added Trump, who spent August attacking McConnell for failing to pass legislation to repeal the Affordable Care Act, calling the failure “a disgrace.” McConnell, R-Ky., seconded the president’s latest views. “Contrary to what some of you may have reported, we are together, totally, on this agenda to move America forward,” said McConnell, who had complained over the summer that Trump had “excessive expectations” for how quickly Congress could act. The two took questions at length from a quickly assembled White House press corps that stood bunched together on the lawn since there wasn’t even time to set up chairs. Trump defended his former top adviser, Steve Bannon, who is now threatening all-out political war on McConnell and establishment Republicans, including incumbent senators.
