The Senate Minority Leader tells TIME who he would aim to emulate the most should he become Senate Majority Leader next year and also talks partisanship, the importance of congeniality and how Kentucky has changed over the last 29 years
If Mitch McConnell becomes Senate Majority Leader
next year, he says his leadership style will most resemble that of George Mitchell, the Maine Democrat who held the job from 1989 to 1995. McConnell is
not attracted to Mitchell’s policies, but he likes the Democrat’s style.
“He treated everyone with respect,” McConnell
tells TIME in an interview. “The Senate needs to run in a more collegial and
open way than [under] the current majority leader, who has prevented members
from both parties from offering amendments and basically done a lot of damage to
the institution, in my opinion.”
