Tweet - "It's time for Sen. McConnell to put the country over his fear of the President's tweets and take up legislation in the Senate to secure our elections."
Sen. Dick Durbin
July 31, 2019
Tweet - "Why won't Sen. McConnell allow a vote on election security legislation? Ever since 2016, when our top intelligence chiefs urged him to speak up and he refused, he has consistently failed to stand up to Russia's election interference. Inaction is putting our democracy at risk."
