Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) warned House Democrats on Nov. 7 that pursuing a campaign of harassing President Donald Trump under their new majority over the next two years “might not be a smart strategy.”
“The whole issue of presidential harassment is interesting,” he told reporters Wednesday, responding to a question about what Senate Republicans would do if Democrats tried to obtain the president’s tax returns. “I remember when we tried it in the late ‘90s. We impeached President Clinton. His numbers went up and ours went down, and we underperformed in the next election.”
