The Long Game by Mitch Mcconnell

The Long Game by Mitch Mcconnell

Under Mitch McConnell's famously quiet and strategic leadership, Republicans in the Senate have seen win after win-from tax cuts and deregulation to major improvements for veterans, farmers, and our national defense. In 2018, President Donald Trump dubbed McConnell "the greatest leader in history"-and even his harshest critics on the Left acknowledge his skill.

Now with a new foreword by President Trump and an afterword that details McConnell's friendship with Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, this paperback edition of McConnell's memoir reveals the backdrop of his decision not to fill Scalia's vacant seat until after the 2016 presidential election. Of this decision, New York Times chief Washington correspondent Carl Hulse wrote that "McConnell not only preserved a Supreme Court seat, he elected Donald Trump president."

The years of the McConnell-led Senate have proved that lasting change can only be won by playing the long game. Leading up to the 2020 election, when the system of government our Founding Fathers created will again be threatened by the Left, this book is necessary reading for anyone who wants to avoid repeating the mistakes of our recent past.

MITCH McCONNELL is the longest-serving US Senate Republican leader and longest-serving senator from Kentucky. He has represented the Commonwealth in the upper chamber since January 1985 and has been Senate majority leader since January 2015. Prior to that, he was leader of the Senate Republican minority for nearly a decade. Senator McConnell has been described by Frank Luntz as having had a bigger impact on the United States Senate than any senator in my lifetime and by one journalist as being arguably the most influential Senate majority leader since Lyndon Johnson. Twice he has been selected by Time magazine as one of the 100 Most Influential People. He has three daughters and is married to Elaine Chao, the secretary of transportation.
