June 12, 2017

WASHINGTON, D.C.U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) made the following remarks today on the Senate floor regarding the Iran sanctions bill:

“Last week, the Senate voted on an overwhelmingly bipartisan basis to advance the Iran sanctions bill currently before us, and we’ll take another vote today to proceed to the bill. I want to thank the Chairs and Ranking Members of the Foreign Relations and Banking Committees, Chairman Corker and Chairman Crapo, for their efforts to craft additional and much-needed sanctions on Russia. I would encourage Members of both parties to keep working together so we can pass the critical Iran sanctions legislation very soon.”

‘There’s just no serious way to try and spin away these years of Obamacare failures now. It’s also clear that the status quo is unsustainable and demands action. That’s why Republican Senators have been working hard on solutions that can help rescue American families who’ve been hurt by Obamacare’s failures. Members will keep working this week because bringing relief from Obamacare may not be easy, but it is necessary.’
