Premieres Tuesday, Oct. 31, 2023 at 10 p.m. on KPBS TV / PBS App + Encore Thursday, Nov. 2 at 9 p.m. on KPBS 2. How Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell helped transform the Supreme Court and U.S. politics.
Mitch McConnell holds a post-election news conference as he declares victory, in Louisville, Kentucky.
“He’s 81 years old. He is balancing a heck of a lot. And he’s sort of a leader in a party that he doesn’t really know anymore,” Through interviews with close advisors and associates, critics, biographers and journalists, the film traces McConnell’s political journey from his days as a supporter of the civil rights movement to his shift rightward in the Reagan era, to his reluctant embrace of Donald Trump and then his anger at the president on Jan. 6, 2021, to his current health scares and questions about how long he will continue to lead Senate Republicans.
