As alluded in Penn’s aforementioned commentary, many conservative voters have been highly critical of Congress’ performance. Congress’ failure to repeal and replace Obamacare as they promised for nearly one decade outraged many members of their party.
The amount of hours that members of Congress dedicate to work has also been criticized as too low. Furthermore, many Republican voters feel the leadership of Mitch McConnell is weighing Congress down and they want a new person as Senate Majority Leader.
