McConnell a sifatida tanilgan pragmatist va a o'rtacha Respublika uning siyosiy karerasining boshida, ammo vaqt o'tishi bilan o'ng tomonga o'girildi. U saylov kampaniyasini moliyalashtirish to'g'risidagi qat'iy qonunlarga qarshi chiqishga sabab bo'ldi Oliy sud hukm qilish bu qisman bekor qilingan Ikki partiyali kampaniyani isloh qilish to'g'risidagi qonun (Makkeyn-Feingold) 2010 yilda.

11 sentyabr voqealari

2010 yilda Makkonnell qarshi ovoz bergan Zadroga qonuni bilan bog'liq bo'lgan sog'liqni saqlash asoratlarini boshdan kechirgan 11 sentyabr voqealariga javob beradigan bemorlarni tibbiy davolash bilan ta'minlashga mo'ljallangan 11 sentyabr terroristik hujumlari.[1] Makkonnell, agar avval Bush soliq imtiyozlari uzaytirilmasa, qonun loyihasini qo'llab-quvvatlashdan bosh tortdi.[2] 2015 yilda Makkonnl Senatda ovoz berishga chiqa olmasligi uchun 11 sentyabr voqealari ishtirokchilari uchun mablag'larni to'ldirishni istagan qonunchilikni to'sib qo'ydi.[1][3] Makkonnell AQShning neft eksportiga qo'ygan taqiqini bekor qilish to'g'risida qonun qabul qilinmasa, qonun loyihasini qo'llab-quvvatlashdan bosh tortdi.[3] Avvalgi Daily Show mezbon Jon Styuart, qonun loyihasining taniqli advokati Makkonnellning rolini alohida ta'kidlab, Makkonnell "siyosatdan boshqa" narsaga ahamiyat bermaganligini aytdi, Makkonnell demokratlarni o'zaro bog'liq bo'lmagan masalalarda uning talablarini qondirishi uchun qonun loyihasini garovda ushlab turgani haqida.[3][4][5][6]

2019 yilda Jon Styuart Vakillar Palatasida 9 sentyabr voqealari ishtirokchilarining sog'liqni saqlash mablag'larini qayta to'ldirishni so'rab, hissiy guvohlik berdi.[7] Ko'p o'tmay, uy sog'liqni saqlash mablag'larini yangilash to'g'risidagi qonun hujjatlarini tasdiqladi. Keyinchalik Styuart Makkonellni Senatda qonun loyihasini qabul qilishga ustuvor ahamiyat bermaganligi uchun tanqid qildi va bu masala "senator Makkonnell tomonidan hech qachon rahm-shafqat bilan ish tutilmaganligini" va faqat "qizg'in lobbichilik ostida" ekanligini aytdi. ommaviy sharmandalik u hatto bu borada harakat qilish uchun yarqiraganmi? "[7] Makkonnell javob berib, qonunchilik Senatda ko'rib chiqilishini va "menga xafa bo'lish uchun qandaydir yo'l izlayotganga o'xshaydi", deb aytdi.[7]

Aksiyani moliyalashtirish

Makkonnl saylov kampaniyasini moliyalashtirish bo'yicha qat'iy qoidalarga qarshi chiqishga sabab bo'ldi Lexington Herald rahbari buni Makkonnellning "uy hayvonlari bilan bog'liq muammo" deb ta'riflagan.[8] Uning ta'kidlashicha, saylov kampaniyasini moliyalashtirish qoidalari siyosiy kampaniyalarda qatnashishni kamaytiradi va amaldagi rahbarlarni raqobatdan himoya qiladi.[9] 1990 yilda u kampaniyani moliyalashtirishni isloh qilish to'g'risidagi qonun loyihasiga qarshi filibusterga rahbarlik qildi.[10] U qarshi harakatga boshchilik qildi Ikki partiyali kampaniyani isloh qilish to'g'risidagi qonun (1995 yildan beri "Makkeyn - Fayngold qonun loyihasi" va 1989 yildan 1994 yilgacha "Boren - Mitchell qonun loyihasi" nomi bilan tanilgan), uni "na adolatli, na muvozanatli va na konstitutsiyaviy" deb atagan.[11] Uning qonun loyihasiga qarshi chiqishi 2003 yil Oliy sud ishi bilan yakunlandi Makkonnell qarshi Federal saylov komissiyasi va 2010 yil Citizens United Federal saylov komissiyasiga qarshi, ikkinchisi harakatning bir qismini konstitutsiyaga zid deb topdi. Makkonell hech bo'lmaganda 1970-yillarning boshlarida, Luisvill universitetida tungi kurslarda dars berayotganda so'z erkinligi tarafdori bo'lgan. "Hech qanday masala uning karerasini kampaniyani moliyalashtirish va so'z erkinligi kesishmasidan ko'proq shakllantirgan emas", deb yozgan 2012 yilda siyosiy muxbir Robert Kosta.[12] Makkonell 2014 yilgi mablag 'yig'ish marosimidagi yozuvda Makkeyn-Fayngold qonunini rad etishini aytib, "Mening siyosiy hayotimdagi eng yomon kun Prezident bo'lgan payt edi Jorj V.Bush Makkeyn-Fayngoldni birinchi ma'muriyatining boshida imzoladi. "[13]

2013 yil 2-yanvar kuni ommaviy kampaniyani moliyalashtirishni tartibga solishni qo'llab-quvvatlovchi liberal notijorat guruhi - Public Campaign Action Fund tomonidan hisobot e'lon qilindi, u Makkonellning siyosiy faoliyatidagi ovoz berish yoki blokirovka qilingan ovoz berishning sakkizta holatini yoritib berdi (muvozanatlash ), McConnell kompaniyasining kampaniyasiga kampaniyada ishtirok etgan mablag'lar oqimiga to'g'ri keldi.[14][15]

2018 yil dekabrda Makkonnell soliq to'lovlaridan ozod qilingan ayrim guruhlar IRSni berishga majbur bo'lishi kerak bo'lgan donorlik ma'lumotlarini kamaytirish bo'yicha IRS ko'rsatmalarini bekor qilgan Demokratik qaroriga qarshi chiqdi: "Ba'zi siyosiy ifoda turlariga tobora dushman bo'lgan va ochiq bo'lgan muhitda munozaralar, Vashingtonga kerak bo'lgan so'nggi narsa - so'z erkinligini mashq qilish va qo'rqitish hissini qo'shish. "[16]

Senatda ishlashdan oldin Makkonnell kampaniyani moliyalashtirishni isloh qilishni ma'qul ko'rgan va siyosatdagi pulni 1973 yilda "saraton" deb ta'riflagan.[10]

Inson huquqlari

Makkonell 1988 yil mart oyida Senat tomonidan bekor qilingan urinishga qarshi ovoz berdi. Veto bekor qilindi va qonun loyihasi qat'iy nazar qonunga aylandi.[18]

Jinoyat adliya tizimini isloh qilish

2018 yil oxirida Makkonnell o'tishni to'xtatdi Birinchi qadam qonuni (Ikki partiyali jinoiy adolatni isloh qilish to'g'risidagi qonun loyihasi) Senatda. 2018 yil dekabr oyidan boshlab Makkonnell prezident Donald Tramp tomonidan ma'qullangan qonun loyihasini hali qo'llab-quvvatlamagan edi.[19] Demokrat senatorlar Dik Durbin va Kamala Xarrisning ta'kidlashicha, qonun loyihasini qabul qilishda Makkonnell yagona to'siq bo'lgan.[19][20] Senat 2018 yil 18 dekabrda "Birinchi qadam to'g'risida" gi qonunni qabul qildi,[21] va qonun loyihasi prezident Donald Tramp tomonidan 2018 yil 21 dekabrda imzolangan.[22] Makkonnell qonun loyihasini yoqlab ovoz berdi.[23] Makkonnell ovoz berishni chaqirishni istamagan edi, chunki Senatdagi respublika konferentsiyasi qonun loyihasida ikkiga bo'lingan edi.[21]

Iqtisodiyot

Prezident Bush Kongress a'zolari bilan, shu jumladan Makkonnell bilan Oq uyda uchrashadi AQSh moliya tizimini qutqarish, 2008 yil 25 sentyabr

Tuzatish uchun soliqlarni ko'paytirish yoki federal xarajatlar uchun joriy yilgi soliq tushumlaridan yoki o'tgan yilgi YaIMning 18 foizidan oshib ketishi uchun Kongressning uchdan ikki qismi ovoz berishni talab qiladi. O'zgartirish ushbu talablardan voz kechish holatlarini belgilaydi.[26][27]

Davomida Katta tanazzul, Kongress va Obama ma'muriyati bank tizimidagi islohotlar bo'yicha muzokaralar olib borganlarida, Makkonnell kelajakda nochor banklarni qutqarish uchun ishlatilishi kerak bo'lgan zaxirani oldindan to'ldirishni talab qiladigan qoidalar qo'shilishining oldini olishda muhim rol o'ynadi. Bir tadqiqotga ko'ra, ikki tomonlama va ko'pchilik bank tomonidan moliyalashtiriladigan zaxirani qo'llab-quvvatlagani ko'rinib turganda, Makkonnell ushbu qoidani tanqid qilib, uni "qutqarish fondi" deb atadi va "senat respublikachilari uchun unga qarshi chiqishni" aylantirdi.[28] Tadqiqotga ko'ra, "Makkonnellning hujumi, oppozitsiya partiyaning printsipiga bog'liq bo'ladi degan qat'iyati bilan birga, oldindan moliyalashtirilgan zaxirani qo'llab-quvvatlaydigan mo'rt koalitsiyani, Oq uy esa prezidentning yanada kengroq islohotlari doirasida bank yig'imini himoya qilishdan qo'rqib, uni buzdi. raqiblarga butun qonun loyihasini o'ldirishga imkon beradi - bu g'oyani rad etdi. "[28]

Pirs Liyon keyingi kampaniyada Makkonnellga qo'shildi, Kentukki shahrida suv o'tlari, makkajo'xori va kommutatordan etanol ishlab chiqaradigan zavod qurdi, Makkonnell 2012 yilda prezident Obamani tanqid qilgan nutqida suv o'tlaridan bioyoqilg'i ishlab chiqarishni ikki marta eslatib o'tgani uchun tanqid qildi. yuqorida aytilganlarning hammasi "energiya siyosati.[29][30]

2014 yilda Makkonnell ovoz berishda yordam berishga ovoz berdi Ted Kruz a ga qarshi muvozanatlashtiruvchi urinish qarz limiti oshirish va keyin qonun loyihasining o'ziga qarshi.[31] 2014 yilda Makkonnell Paycheck Fairness qonuniga ("ish beruvchilarni ish haqi to'g'risidagi ma'lumotni baham ko'rgan ishchilarga nisbatan qasos olish uchun jazolaydi, ish beruvchilarga nima uchun kimdir kam maosh olishini va ishchilarni ish haqini kamsitishning jazosini to'lash uchun sudga da'vo qilishiga yo'l qo'yadigan sababni yuklaydi" ) chunki bu "sud advokatlari cho'ntagini qoplash" emas, balki ayollarga yordam berish.[32]

2014 yil iyul oyida Makkonnell AQSh Senatining amaliyotini cheklaydigan qonun loyihasiga qarshi chiqishini bildirdi korporativ inversiya AQSh soliq majburiyatini cheklashga intilayotgan AQSh korporatsiyalari tomonidan.[33]

Makkonnell davrida respublikachilar boshchiligidagi senat ovoz berishni qabul qilishga ovoz berdi 2017 yilgi soliqlarni qisqartirish va ish o'rinlari to'g'risidagi qonun.[34]

2018 yilda Makkonnell huquqni qisqartirishga chaqirdi va hukumat defitsiti haqida tashvish uyg'otdi. U defitsitni davlat xarajatlari bilan izohladi va bir yil oldin qabul qilgan soliqlarni kamaytirish to'g'risidagi qonun loyihasi tanqidlarini rad etdi, bu 1 trillion dollardan ortiq qarzni qo'shdi.[34][35]

2019 yilda Makkonnell ushbu qonunni bekor qildi mol-mulk solig'i (bu 11,2 million dollardan ortiq merosga soliq).[36]

[38][39] Biroq, ommaviy ravishda, Makkonnell 2016 yil dekabrida "saylovlarga Moskva aralashgan Amerika razvedka ma'lumotlarini tekshirishni" qo'llab-quvvatlashini aytdi.[40]

Uning so'zlariga ko'ra, bu keraksiz deb o'ylagan, chunki prezident Myullerni ishdan bo'shatishini kutmagan.[42][43] 2018 yil mart oyida Prezident Tramp Myullerni demokratlar sifatida ro'yxatdan o'tgan tergovchilarni yollaganligi uchun tanqid qilgandan so'ng, Makkonell Myullerning maxsus maslahatchi sifatida tanlanishini maqtadi.[44]

Makkonnell Prezident Tramp va boshqa Kongress rahbarlari bilan Oq uyda 2019 yilda uchrashadi

Myullernikidan keyin Maxsus advokatning tekshiruvi 2016 yilgi saylovlarga Rossiyaning "keng qamrovli va muntazam" aralashuvi bo'lgan degan xulosaga keldi, 2019 yilda qat'iylashtirish uchun bir nechta qonunchilik choralari taklif qilindi saylovlar xavfsizligi, ularning ba'zilari ikki tomonlama qo'llab-quvvatlashga ega edi.[45] Makkonnell 2017 yilda Rossiyaga qarshi qo'llanilgan sanksiyalar va 380 million dollarlik Kongress tomonidan Rossiyaning aralashuviga javoban ushbu davlatlarga taqdim etgan sanktsiyalar ushbu masalada etarlicha hal qilinganligini ta'kidlab, qonun loyihalarini Senatda ovoz berishiga to'sqinlik qildi.[46]

"[58]

2016 yil noyabr oyida Makkonnell saylangan prezident Trampdan uchrashuvga kirishganidan keyin Keystone XL quvur liniyasini ma'qullashni birinchi o'ringa qo'yishni iltimos qildi va jurnalistlarga Prezident Obamaning "butun sakkiz yil davomida Keystone quvurida o'tirdi, garchi o'z davlat departamenti aytgan bo'lsa ham bu iqlimga hech qanday ta'sir ko'rsatmadi ".[59]

Makkonnell AQSh bilan munosabatlarni normallashtirayotganini ta'kidladi Vetnam chunki uning hukumati amerikaliklarning ishtiroki misolida dengizchilarga qarshi repressiyalarni davom ettirdi, ba'zan esa ishlamayapti.[71]

Prezident Tramp 2017 yil yanvarida ish boshlagandan so'ng, Senat respublikachilari, Makkonnell rahbarligida, "Affordable Care" qonunini bekor qilish va almashtirish rejasi ustida ishlay boshladilar. Ular ham demokratlar, ham mo''tadil respublikachilarning qarshiliklariga duch kelishdi, ular qonun loyihasi juda ko'p odamni sug'urtasiz qoldirishini va yana konservativ respublikachilarni, bu qonun loyihasi ACA tomonidan tartibga solinishi va xarajatlarining ko'payib ketishiga qarshi norozilik bildirishdi va shu sababli to'liq bekor qilinmadi. .

"[137] During a Rotary Club lunch on July 6, McConnell said, "If my side is unable to agree on an adequate replacement, then some kind of action with regard to the private health insurance market must occur."[138]

In October 2018, after the Trump administration joined Texas leaders and 19 other Republican state attorneys general in a lawsuit seeking to overturn the ACA, McConnell said it was no secret Republicans preferred to reboot their efforts in repealing the ACA and that he did not "fault the administration for trying to give us an opportunity to do this differently and to go in a different direction."[139]

In February 2019, when Senator Sherrod Braun va vakil Lloyd Doggett unveiled legislation to allow Medicare to negotiate drug prices, Brown stated that he hoped for a vote in the House that would "put the pressure" on McConnell.[140]

Immigratsiya

During his Senate tenure, McConnell has consistently voiced support for stronger border security. In 2006 he voted for building an improved fence along the Mexican border.[141] Seven years later in 2013, he opposed bi-partisan immigration legislation because it did not include sufficient border security measures.[142] While McConnell has stressed a need for increased vetting of foreigners traveling to the United States, he has also been critical of Trump's travel and immigration proposals that target Muslims. In 2015, he voiced opposition to then candidate Donald Trump's plan to bar Muslim immigration by saying proposals to bar visitors based on religion was "completely inconsistent" with American values.[143] After Trump's election, McConnell warned the administration that they should not impose religious restrictions on those seeking entry to the United States, saying in an interview with ABC Marta Raddatz, "I don't want to criticize them for improving vetting. I think we need to be careful; we don't have religious tests in this country."[144] Subsequently, in June 2018, after the Supreme Court upheld the Trump administration's travel ban targeting seven countries, five of which were Muslim-majority, McConnell tweeted a picture of him shaking hands with Supreme Court Justice Nil Gorsuch whose vote was instrumental in upholding the administration's travel ban. Multiple news outlets considered the timing of the photo's release to be an endorsement of the Supreme Court's decision.[145][146][147]

Sof betaraflik

In December 2010, after the Republicans gained control of the House in the 2010 midterm elections, McConnell delivered a Senate floor speech rebuking the intention of the Federal aloqa komissiyasi to instate net neutrality in its monthly commission meeting, saying the Obama administration was moving forward "with what could be a first step in controlling how Americans use the Internet by establishing federal regulations on its use" after having already nationalized healthcare, the auto industry, companies that could be insured, and loans for students and banks and called for the Internet to be left alone as it was "an invaluable resource." McConnell pledged that the incoming AQShning 112-kongressi would push back against additional regulations.[148]

In November 2014, after President Obama announced a series of proposals including regulations that he stated would keep the Internet open and free, McConnell released a statement saying the FCC would be wise to reject the proposal and charged Obama's plan with endorsing "more heavy-handed regulation that will stifle innovation."[149]

In December 2017, after the FCC voted to repeal net neutrality, Senate Minority Leader Chak Shumer announced his intent to force a vote on the FCC's decision, a spokesman for McConnell confirming that the Majority Leader opposed Schumer's plan and favored the FCC's decision to repeal.[150]

2018 yil fevral oyida Internet uyushmasi sent a letter to McConnell and Schumer endorsing the retention of net neutrality as "necessitated by, among other factors, the lack of competition in the broadband service market" and calling "for a bipartisan effort to establish permanent net neutrality rules for consumers, startups, established internet businesses, and internet service providers."[151]

Statehood for Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C.

In June 2019, McConnell stated in an interview on Ingrem burchagi that he does not support statehood for Puerto-Riko yoki Kolumbiya okrugi. He explained that Democrats in Congress "plan to make the District of Columbia a state – that'd give them two new Democratic senators – Puerto Rico a state, that would give them two more new Democratic senators". McConnell stated concern that this would lead to "full-bore socialism on the march in the House. And yeah, as long as I'm the majority leader of the Senate, none of that stuff is going anywhere".[152][153]

Tamaki

According to a NPR investigation of McConnell's relationship with the tobacco industry, "McConnell repeatedly cast doubt on the health consequences of smoking, repeated industry talking points word-for-word, attacked federal regulators at the industry's request and opposed bipartisan tobacco regulations going back decades."[154] At the same time, the tobacco industry "provided McConnell with millions of dollars in speaking fees, personal gifts, campaign contributions, and charitable donations to the McConnell Center, which is home to his personal and professional archives."[154]

In January 2018, McConnell was one of thirty-six Republican senators to sign a letter to President Trump requesting he preserve the Shimoliy Amerika erkin savdo shartnomasi uni 21-asr iqtisodiyoti uchun modernizatsiya qilish orqali.[155] In March, McConnell was asked at a news conference about the Trump administration's intent to impose tariffs on imported alyuminiy and steel, answering that there was "a lot of concern among Republican senators that this could sort of metastasize into a larger trade war" and that there were discussions between senators and the administration on "just how broad, how sweeping this might be, and there is a high level of concern about interfering with what appears to be an economy that is taking off." McConnell defended NAFTA as having been successful in his state of Kentucky.[156] In July, during a press conference, McConnell said, "I'm concerned about getting into a trade war and it seems like ... we may actually be in the early stages of it. Nobody wins a trade war, and so it would be good if it ended soon."[157] In October, after the United States, Kanada va Meksika concluded talks relating to rearranging NAFTA, McConnell said the subject would "be a next-year issue because the process we have to go through doesn't allow that to come up before the end of this year" along with confirming that the U.S. International Trade Commission would take priority the following year.[158]

Voting rights and election security

McConnell opposes restoring the voting rights of felons.[159] In 2019, McConnell blocked Democrats from bringing a voting reform bill up for a vote in the Senate.[160]

In 2019, he claimed that Democrats were at fault for election fraud in the 2018 North Carolina 9th congressional district election, and that voter ID laws would have prevented the fraud. There was substantial evidence that the operatives working for Republican candidate Mark Xarris, not the Democratic candidate, engaged in an illegal saylov byulletenlarini yig'ish operatsiya. Voter ID laws would not have prevented the ballot harvesting that took place; experts said that McConnell was conflating ballot fraud (where someone manipulates ballots of legitimate voters) with voter fraud (voting by illegitimate voters).[161] The Associated Press and PolitiFact described McConnell's remarks as "misleading."[162][163]

In 2019, McConnell blocked a range of bipartisan proposals to improve election security amid the threat of foreign election interference.[164] The blocked bills included the Secure Elections Act, the Protecting the Right to Independent and Democratic Elections (PRIDE) Act, the Protecting American Votes and Elections (PAVE) Act, and the Honest Ads Act.[45] He again blocked two election security bills the day after Special Counsel Robert Mueller testified in the House of Representatives that U.S. election security was threatened by foreign powers.[165]

In response to McConnell's blocking election security bills, he has been sarcastically nicknamed "Moscow Mitch," with the hashtag #MoscowMitchMcTreason having trended on Twitter.[166][167][168][169]
