Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) announces he will step down as Republican leader in November. He has has served as party leader since 2007, the longest in Senate history. "I turned 82 last week. the end of my contributions are closer than I'd prefer...I always imagined a moment when I had total clarity and peace" about the sunset of my work. A moment when he is certain he has helped preserve the ideals he so strongly believe. That day arrived today." He also says, "This will be my last term as Republican leader of the Senate. I'm not going anywhere anytime soon. I'll complete my job my colleagues have given me to do until we select a new leader in November...I'll finish my job the people of Kentucky hired me to do as well." www.c-span.org/video/?533885-...

Mitch was the leader for a long time, I don't see him getting voted out, I see him stepping down though. Liberals won't win a democrat, and most Republicans would rather keep a sane corrupt prick like Mitch then let when of those MAGA cultists in. I'm a former Republican, I quit the GoP because they quit loving our troops when they elected mr "I like people who weren't caught".

Nobody over 70 should be allowed to stay in office. Your term must end on your 70th birthday then someone else can fill your unexpired term then they can run themselves.
