Via The Hill:

Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Thursday that the Senate will not take up a House bill that would force President Trump to keep the U.S. in the Paris climate agreement.

“This futile gesture to handcuff the U.S. economy through the ill-fated Paris deal will go nowhere here in the Senate,” McConnell said from the Senate floor. “We’re in the business of actually helping middle-class families, not inventing new obstacles to throw in their paths.”

His comments came shortly before the House passed a measure that would prevent the administration from using funding to withdraw from the 2015 deal.

Though the legislation easily passed the House, McConnell’s comments underscore that the bill is dead on arrival in the GOP-controlled Senate.

McConnell has touted his ability to block House-passed legislation, calling himself the “Grim Reaper” for progressive policy ideas.
