We must work together: McConnell

Wednesday, 5 November 2014


The presumptive Republican leader of the US Senate has vowed to "work together" with President Barack Obama on issues where they can agree.
Mr McConnell and a host of Republicans swept to victory in the Senate, and now control both chambers of Congress.
Mr Obama will respond later to what was a terrible result for Democrats.
As the new Senate majority leader when the new Congress sits in January, Mr McConnell will control the chamber's legislative agenda and floor proceedings.
He has been a fierce critic of the president's healthcare overhaul and once vowed to block Mr Obama at every turn. But in the glow of victory, he hinted at compromise, according to a news agency.
