McConnell will step down as the Senate Republican leader in November after a record run in the job​

WASHINGTON (AP) — Mitch McConnell, the longest-serving Senate leader in history who maintained his power in the face of dramatic convulsions in the Republican Party for almost two decades, will step down from that position in November.

McConnell, who turned 82 last week, was set to announce his decision Wednesday in the well of the Senate, a place where he looked in awe from its back benches in 1985 when he arrived and where he grew increasingly comfortable in the front row seat afforded the party leaders.

“One of life’s most underappreciated talents is to know when it’s time to move on to life’s next chapter,” he said in prepared remarks obtained by The Associated Press. “So I stand before you today ... to say that this will be my last term as Republican leader of the Senate.”

About time. I question his fitness for office as much as Biden et al.
 
How is Mitch the bitch stepping down like planting a tree?



The best time to have done both, was 20 years ago.

A tall icy hill. With lots of big rocks with jagged edges at the bottom.

He doesn't look very healthy.
 
I have seen loved ones experience so many TIAs and partial seizures that I just don't enjoy watching anyone struggling through them.

If we had people in gov and in the msm who weren't cheering on the destruction of our nation, we wouldn't be seeing it, as people in his condition would have long been removed from gov and instead be receiving the care they obviously need.

You shouldn't enjoy watching it. No one does, but we are forced to watch by the powers that have been propping these people up.

McConnell: I’ll stay in the Senate and fight the GOP ‘isolationist movement’​

Mitch McConnell plans to keep fighting his party’s “isolationist movement” — even after he steps down as GOP leader.

The Kentucky Republican, who is leading the hawkish wing's drive to fund Ukraine, said in an interview with WHAS’s Terry Meiners that continuing to push for a brawny national security approach will be a major priority over the rest of his time in the Senate. McConnell’s term ends at the end of 2026, two years after he plans to give up his leadership post, and he said he'll serve it out in full.
