Senate Minority Leader McConnell says he isn't worried about threats to American democracy after a national NBC News poll revealed voters ranked it as the top issue facing the country.
Asked about Americans ranking threats to democracy higher than other issues, including the cost of living, McConnell told reporters,"I do think it’s an important issue. There were those who were trying to prevent the orderly transfer of power for the first time in American history,” after the 2020 presidential election, “and that was not good.”
But the top Senate Republican does not believe that American democracy is facing immediate danger, citing efforts to interrupt the peaceful transfer of power between the election on Nov. 3 and the inauguration on Jan. 20, 2021, that were “thwarted." "I guess that’s had some impact on the poll. ... But look, I think we have a very solid democracy,” McConnell continued. “I don’t think of the things that we need to worry about, I wouldn’t be worried about that one.”
The comments come after poll results Monday revealed that 57% of registered voters believe that probes into potential wrongdoing by Trump should continue, while 40% say they should stop.
