Mitch McConnell calls Senate Republicans 'the firewall against Nancy Pelosi's agenda' in RNC speech
"I am immensely proud of the work the Republican Senate has done," McConnell said. "We are the firewall against Nancy Pelosi’s agenda. Like President Trump, we won’t be bullied by a liberal media intent on destroying America’s institutions." McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, noted that of the top three congressional leaders — himself, Pelosi and New York Sen. Chuck Schumer — he's the only one from "middle America." “Today’s Democratic party doesn’t want to improve life for middle America," he said. "They prefer that all of us in flyover country keep quiet and let them decide how we should live our lives. They want to tell you when you can go to work. When your kids can go to school. They want to tax your job out of existence, and then send you a government check for unemployment."

McConnell talks pandemic, protests and the postal service with WDRB News
On Wednesday, McConnell was visiting Jerry's Trading Post in the tiny community of Grab in Green County, Kentucky. The Senate Majority Leader said Kentuckians, both rural and urban, have benefited from the COVID-19 relief package known as the CARES Act. But talks between Democrats and Republicans about a second relief package are at a stalemate. “We’re a lot closer to the election now than we were in March and April,” McConnell said. “I think the partisan passions have been rising, and it’s made it extremely difficult to get an outcome.”

McGrath declines invitation to Kentucky Farm Bureau Candidate Forum
"As the voice of agriculture across the state, Kentucky Farm Bureau believes it is important that our members hear directly from the candidates,” Kentucky Farm Bureau President Mark Haney said. “We are disappointed that Ms. McGrath has chosen not to participate in this forum that is traditionally recognized by candidates on both sides of the aisle as an opportunity to discuss policy ideas for this important industry.” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has accepted the invitation and will participate in the event.
