“This is not about President Trump; he will face the judgment of the voters,” Pelosi told reporters Friday. “But he shows the need for us to create a process for future presidents.”
“Look, that’s absurd. Absolutely absurd,” said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. “Again, right here in this last three weeks before the election, I think those kinds of wild comments should be largely discounted.”
