'I think the election will be about the future, not about the past.' McConnell encouraged Republicans to focus on the future, after he was asked if he thinks the right playbook for Republicans in the midterms is to keep Trump at arm's length.
"I think the answer is people are in the present and want to vote on what they see going on now," said McConnell, a Republican from Kentucky."And I think the key to '22 is to have a discussion with the American people about how they feel about the new administration and the Democratic Congress and what they're doing. So I think the election will be about the future, not about the past.
Asked what his response to Trump's statement criticizing the passage of the bipartisan infrastructure bill -- which singled him out -- and whether he's concerned about a rift continuing to grow, McConnell reiterated that he thinks"elections going forward are about the present not the past" and he's"very optimistic" going into next year.
