Senate Minority Leader A. Mitchell McConnell

Q. Mr. President, Mitch McConnell says you're in for a heck of a fight on this one.

The President. Mitch McConnell loves our programs. Did you see what Mitch McConnel said? He told me he wasn't going to get a single vote in order to allow me to get, with the help of everybody here, that $1.9 trillion tax cutâI mean, excuse me, program toâfor economic growth.

Look it up, man. He's bragging about in Kentucky: "It's a great thing for Kentucky. It's getting $4 billion to help poor." It's amazing. Check out Mitch McConnell. You can even see it on TV.

Anyway, thanks. Thank you.
