Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is facing new pressure from his own party for blocking two election security bills.
Republicans for the Rule of Law, a GOP group highly critical of President Donald Trump, launched a campaign earlier this month demanding that the Senate leader allow a vote on the bills. But McConnell hasn’t relented, so now the organization is taking out TV spots in the home states of four key senators: Lindsey Graham , Marco Rubio James Lankford and Roy Blunt .
“Russia’s interference is a threat to our democracy,” Graham said in the footage. “If we don’t hit them hard, we will be empowering Russia.”
