Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell speaks to members of the media at the Capitol in Washington, Wednesday, Nov. 7, 2018.

Republican Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky may be the most powerful politician in America. McConnell began his first term in the Senate in 1985, and has served as majority whip and minority leader.

He became Senate Majority Leader in 2015, then found himself in new territory when President Trump took office.

Joining Cincinnati Edition to discuss how Senator McConnell is navigating the current political landscape under the Trump administration and with Democrats in control of the House are Frost Brown Todd attorney and former Kentucky Secretary of State, Trey Grayson; Northern Kentucky University Chase College of Law Adjunct Professor Col Owens. Owens is also former longtime chairman of the Kenton County Democratic Party and an unsuccessful candidate for a Northern Kentucky statehouse seat last fall. And WVXU Senior Political Analyst Howard Wilkinson (@howardwilkinson).
