Yahoo News While Republicans remain in the minority in the Senate, McConnell said Democratic senators facing re-election next year have a political motivation to join GOP lawmakers in pushing for spending cuts.
"We'll see how many of them come over and join us and begin to tackle our annual deficit," he said.
McConnell said the national debt has grown rapidly with the stimulus spending under Obama, and yet national unemployment remains stubbornly high.
McConnell warned that cutting federal spending won't come without some pain.
"Everybody is going to have to do with less if we're going to get this job done," he said. "And we need to get it done."
