Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Thursday admitted he was mistaken when claiming the Obama administration failed to leave “any kind of game plan” for the Trump administration to cope with the pandemic.

“I was wrong,” McConnell said in an interview on Fox News. “They did leave behind a plan. So, I clearly made a mistake in that regard.”
