Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell waved a rhetorical white flag Tuesday, admitting the bipartisan supplemental spending package was doomed fewer than 48 hours after its text was revealed.

“It’s been made pretty clear to us by the [House] speaker [Mike Johnson] that it will not become law,” the 81-year-old Kentuckian bluntly conceded to reporters.

“It looks to me and to most our members as if we have no real chance here to make a law,” McConnell added.
