GOP senators sounded off on Sen. Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) extended absence and suggested a rule change to claw back leverage, according to a new report from NOTUS.<\/p>\n

In a Thursday article, GOP senators discussed the key votes they’re losing in Senate committees while McConnell has been hospitalized for most of the past two months. <\/p>\n

“We’re at 52,” Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) told NOTUS, referring to how the GOP is effectively short of the 53 seats it nominally holds in the Senate. “This is the reality.”<\/p>\n

Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) expressed her frustration with a nearly month-long standstill in the Senate Appropriations Committee, as she told NOTUS it’s “impossible” to have conversations and advance bipartisan legislation to avoid a government shutdown. The committee is split at 14-14 with McConnell’s absence, NOTUS noted.<\/p>\n

“We miss not just his vote. We miss him,” Capito said. “But it definitely has an impact on approps. It’s probably the most deeply felt.”<\/p>\n

Sen. Jim Justice (R-WV) told NOTUS that Congress should pass a bill to prevent legislative impasses caused by long absences and allow parties to pick replacements for lawmakers absent for more than 30 days.<\/p>\n

“That completely is so reasonable it’s unbelievable to me,” Justice said. “Let’s just pray that he gets back really, really soon and gets back in a good, healthy way where we can move this along.”<\/p>\n

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) complained to NOTUS about absences in his party generally, saying, “Basically, we’ve been unable to do stuff today in committees” because of missing Republicans. <\/p>\n

“All the committees I was in today had to be canceled or couldn’t do business because Republicans weren’t there,” Hawley told NOTUS. “And I’m like, wow, we’ve got two weeks to go.”<\/p>\n

Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), who chairs the Senate Appropriations Committee, predicted McConnell “will be back in September,” she told NOTUS.<\/p>\n
