Senator Mitch McConnell has announced he will no longer be the head of the GOP in the Senate after the November election. He stated, “One of life’s most underappreciated talents is to know when it’s time to move on to life’s next chapter. So I stand before you today … to say that this will be my last term as Republican leader of the Senate. As I have been thinking about when I would deliver some news to the Senate, I always imagined a moment when I had total clarity and peace about the sunset of my work. A moment when I am certain I have helped preserve the ideals I so strongly believe. It arrived today.”
The announcement comes after McConnell attempted to help the Democrats pass a “border security” bill that had little to do with the border and everything to do with funding Ukraine and Israel. For some, his announcement will still not appease them as his time is not done in November, it’s done now.
