President Obama will challenge two top Senate Republicans in their
backyards Thursday, as he visits Kentucky and Utah to hold events
attacking the GOP’s economic priorities.
Kentucky is the home state of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell,
who has attributed economic gains to Republicans obtaining control of
both chambers of Congress last year.
Sen. Orrin Hatch, the senior Senate Republican and Finance Committee chairman, is from Utah.
“The President is looking forward to the opportunity to draw a pretty
stark contrast between his middle-class economics approach to expanding
opportunity for everybody and the approach advocated by Republicans,
which essentially is a top-down approach,” White House press secretary
Josh Earnest said Wednesday.
