JUST IN: 🇺🇸 Sen. Mitch McConnell to resign as GOP Leader in November

McConnell’s Historic Tenure

McConnell was first elected Senate Republican Leader in 2006 and has won re-election to the post 9 times. Last January, he became the longest-serving party leader in Senate history. As Majority Leader from 2015-2021, McConnell led the Republicans through a turbulent period that saw the rise of Trumpism and the loss of the Senate majority after the 2020 elections.

Decision Follows Introspection

McConnell, 82, said the recent passing of his wife’s sister prompted him to reflect on the winding down of his Senate career. While not citing a specific reason for the timing, McConnell indicated he wanted to ensure an orderly transition to new leadership. “Believe me I know the politics within my party at this particular moment in time,” McConnell remarked, alluding to the tensions between the traditional and Trump-aligned wings of the GOP.

Enduring Legacy

Even as he prepares to step back from leadership, McConnell said he intends to complete his term which ends in 2027. The consummate Senate institutionalist, McConnell highlighted his enduring belief in Congress’ role in global affairs and his resolve to defend traditional conservatism. “I still have enough gas in the tank to thoroughly disappoint my critics and I intend to do so with all the enthusiasm which they have become accustomed,” he quipped.

Life After Leadership

McConnell has served as Republican leader or minority leader for all but two years since 2007, steering the party through contentious periods and maintaining unity through difficult votes. His impending resignation will set off a race to determine who will next lead the Senate Republicans as they plot a path back to the majority.
