Trump Breaking News Network -McConnell on Trump 'I like what he's doing'

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Friday he supports the agenda President Trump is pursuing, and that the GOP will "soldier on" under their unconventional leader by passing an agenda that includes tax reform and healthcare reform.

"I like what he's doing," McConnell told reporters on Friday. "I've not been a fan of the extra discussion he likes to engage in, but we are going to soldier on. We like his positions and we are going to pursue them as vigorously as we can."

McConnell said Trump is putting in place the same proposals that he would have anticipated if Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush or Marco Rubio had won the White House. The agenda includes rolling back Obama-era regulations, tax reform, and working on a plan to repeal and replace Obamacare.

"I can't see much difference between what President Trump has done and what they would have done," McConnell said.

McConnell steered clear of commenting on Trump's press conference, which included attacks on the media and joked about shooting a Russian ship sighted off the Connecticut coast. When asked if Trump's performance would help or hurt him govern, McConnell replied, "I have no observation about that."

McConnell said he has "been pretty candid" with Trump about his opposition to Trump's tweets and some of his engagement with the press.

McConnell told the Washington Examiner in an interview this week that "much of what he tweets makes it more challenging for us to go in the direction we want to go."
