Contributing sentiments towards policy:
32% : Since Trump returned to office, McConnell has voted against several of his cabinet picks, including Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.22% : Still, all three were eventually confirmed with overwhelming GOP support, and Trump blistered the senator as a "bitter guy" who personally opposes the president.
3% : McConnell and Trump have a famously icy relationship -- the pair didn't speak for several years following the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol, which McConnell said Trump incited -- and the senator has frequently broken from the president at times when their interests have not aligned.
