WASHINGTON — It's not quite

— It’s not quite “Trump-McConnell 2020,” but it might as well be.

“In Washington, President Trump and I are making America great again!” he declared at a rally in Kentucky, his voice rising over protesters. But the Democrats’ agenda includes gun legislation to require background checks that Trump now wants to consider, forcing McConnell to adjust his earlier refusal to do so. The Senate leader has been here before, pushing ahead with a Trump priority that’s unpopular with most Republicans. But this will test both his relationship with the president and his grip on the GOP majority.

Trump on Friday revived his interest in having Congress take a look at expanding federal background checks and other gun safety laws long pushed by Democrats, insisting he will be able to get Republicans on board. McConnell, in a shift, said he’s now willing to consider those ideas “front and center” when Congress returns in the fall.But McConnell doesn’t call himself the Grim Reaper for nothing.
