So I will oppose S. 2770 or S. 3875 at this time. And I would urge my colleagues to do the same.

AI Verified Quote: "So I will oppose S. 2770 or S. 3875 at this time. And I would urge my colleagues to do the same." — Mitch McConnell (2024). The source_url (republicanleader.senate.gov) returned HTTP 403 to WebFetch, but a web search confirmed the substance verbatim: at the July 2024 Senate Rules Committee markup on AI in political speech, McConnell stated he would oppose S. 2770 and S. 3875 and urged colleagues to do the same, arguing the disclaimer/content regulation approach was premature (corroborated by The Hill: "McConnell opposes bill to ban use of deceptive AI to influence elections"). Author attribution correct (McConnell was Senate Republican leader at the time of the 2024 remarks). Vote alignment correct: statement "Prohibiting deceptive AI-generated media of federal election candidates," vote "against," matching his stated opposition. Year note: 2024 quote; this is the canonical primary-source statement of his position on these specific bills, so it remains the most relevant. Verified on confirmation of the quote and correct attribution/vote; the official source page blocks automated fetching. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 8d ago
