Good you bring this up. Everyone calls it the McConnell Rule from 2016 when he pulled it on Obama, but they fail to remember it was Joe Biden, as Senate majority leader, that pulled this on George W for the first time in his last year in office.
And double kudos for remembering that it was based on the President and Senate majority being in the same or opposition parties.
Thanks for this! Needed a clear image that explaines the situation nicely - twitter doesn't have enough characters.
Yes, I had to explain this last night. I’m so happy this comes into this year. Glorious irony.
