WASHINGTON — Within 48 hours of the release of a long-awaited immigration and foreign aid bill he had championed, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s Republican conference rejected his pitch to support it, knifed the deal and left it for dead. Just four Republicans voted for it. In the end, even McConnell backtracked and voted against the package that he had helped develop.
After Republicans won control of the House in 2022 and elevated Trump allies to run it, McConnell said he would stay out of negotiations to fund the government and lift the debt ceiling, instead telling House Republicans and President Joe Biden to figure it out.
