McConnell: We Hope Dems Will Treat Trump’s Cabinet Picks the Same Way We Treated Obama’s

‘We confirmed a number on inauguration day itself, we hope to be in a position to do that once again’

McCONNELL: “Let me just say, we have on the floor of the Senate now the ObamaCare repeal resolution. The priorities between now and January 20th are hearings on cabinet members. We hope the minority will treat President-elect Trump’s cabinet selections in the same way that we treated President Obama. And we confirmed a number on inauguration day itself. We hope to be in a position to do that once again. And we’re also going to process the waiver for Secretary of Defense Designee Mattis. Those are the priorities between now and January 20th."
