Mitch McConnell to GOP Senators: Be Ready to Work Through Thanksgiving Break
Mitch McConnell
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY)  told Senate Republicans to be ready to work through the Thanksgiving break  which serves as a recognition that  McConnell  needs to pass the presidentâs agenda or  he  may soon lose  his  job as Majority Leader.
 Mitch McConnell  finally cracked under pressure last week from conservatives and populists and decided to extend the Senateâs workweek into Fridays and even possibly the weekend to pass the presidentâs agenda. Senate Republicans then wrote to  McConnell  that having the Senate stay open on Fridays and possibly the weekends is not good enough; Republicans urged the Senate Majority Leader to âturn the Senate on full time  24/7 to advance the presidentâs agenda.â
Breitbart News reported that under Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell  the Senate remains in session roughly 2.5 days per week.
To pass the presidentâs agenda   McConnell  told Senate Republicans this week that the chamber could stay in session the weekend before the week of Thanksgiving and the week of Thanksgiving  according to two senior GOP sources.
 McConnell  said  âPresident Trump should be commended for his strong judicial picks. The Senate is going to keep working hard to confirm them. And weâre going to succeed.â
 McConnell âs extension of the Senate workweek and work into Thanksgiving serves as a recognition that he needs to perform or else  McConnell  may lose his job. Many conservatives and populists argue that  McConnell  has failed to carry out the presidentâs agenda and subsequently called on him to resign.
 McConnell âs leadership continues to flounder; a recent poll revealed that 56 percent of Republicans want  Mitch McConnell  to resign. Many Senate Republican candidates revealed that they are reluctant to back  McConnell  for Majority Leader. Even Missouri Attorney General Josh Hawley  whom McConnellâs team labeled as their ânumber one recruit â refused to say whether he will endorse  McConnell .
Former Congressman Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) told Fox News recently that he does not âknow what the case is to keepâ  Mitch McConnell  as Senate majority leader.
Establishment Republicans  including  McConnell   continue to fret over Breitbart News Executive Chairman and former White House Chief Strategist Steve â who is lining up a series of primary challenges in 2018 to lawmakers he sees as hurting President Trumpâs agenda. According to Axios  Bannon is planning to back primary challengers against every incumbent Republican senator running for re-election in 2018  except Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX). Bannon recently told Fox Newsâ Sean Hannity  âNobodyâs safe  weâre coming after all of them.â
