His exact words on the matter read as follows:
Meanwhile, House Democrats are blocking the USMCA while they pursue their three-year-old impeachment obsession. 176,000 new American jobs are being held up because this major new trade deal might interfere with House Democrats’ political theater.

Following the above tweets, the Senate Majority Leader then turned his attention to 2020 Democrats. As it currently stands, the vast majority of left-wing contenders favor far-left policies; some of the most controversial policies in question include ending private healthcare, redistributing debt, and enstating the Green New Deal.
After censuring 2020 Democrats, McConnell urged congressional Democrats to let go of “socialist daydreams” and behave as lawmakers.
We need our Democratic colleagues to put aside socialist daydreams and fulfill their basic governing responsibilities. Republicans are ready and waiting to fund our servicemembers. We are ready and waiting to pass the USMCA. We just need Democrats to show up.

Will Congressional Democrats Listen to McConnell?
At this time, there is no sign indicating that Democrats plan to alter their behavior. Furthermore, seeing as Democrats and Republicans maintain very different views on what effective governing looks like, this complicates the potential for bipartisanship.
