@msnbc: Former chair of the RNC and co-host of MSNBC's "The Weekend," Michael Steele, says outgoing Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell may have had some influence on Republican senators regarding whether or not they would support Matt Gaetz for attorney general. At least five Senate Republicans were planning to vote against Gaetz, including McConnell, according to multiple people with direct knowledge. "McConnell, who, if nothing else, knows how to count votes and knows how to bring about influence at a critical moment," Steele says. #mattgaetz #politics #mcconnell #news #msnbc
