Mitch McConnell to step down from GOP leadership position in the Senate

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell will step down as GOP leader in November, the Kentucky Republican announced on the Senate floor Wednesday, marking the end of an era on Capitol Hill and setting up a high-stakes race for his successor. He will continue to serve in the US Senate but will allow “the next generation of leadership” to take the helm of the Senate Republican Conference. In 2023, McConnell became the longest-serving Senate party leader in history. #cnn #news #mitchmcconnell #senate #politics

This man has caused SO much damage to our government and womens' rights. I have NO respect for him. Don't let the door hit you in the a$$, Mitch.

He is decades late in leaving. He has done horrible damage to American democracy. He has put the creep into creepy.

[Thorkildzen]

As a born and raised American citizen who has been paying attention for the last 20 years-this guy did incalculable damage to America and our democracy

[Lovelylizzette]

Please just leave right this minute. 🤮

One of the reasons this country is in a chaotic state is Mitch McConnell.

The DECADES of horrible, self-profitable things this man has done to our country and his home state, this resignation should have happened years ago. He is right there with TFG in his self-absorbing things he did for himself and not for every single person in this country and definitely not for his home state.

He should have moved on 2 books ago, let alone a chapter.

Whole life in senate and done nothing goodbye..🤭

[gordonw]

[tyronejackson]

[Doc_Holiday]

Don't let the door hit you in your shell on the way out Turtle man

Guys a bum who cares... they should all step down since nobody wants to do their job

[shanemathews]

As far as I'm concerned this guy has been an absolute cancer on your entire political system

[daviddresbach]

You should of stepped down 40 years ago. Not supposed to be service for a lifetime, that corrupts people, are you listening Nancy, Chuck, Jerry, Maxine, Diane. Take your money and run before you can't .

[thomasmoeller]

He says he is not leaving office, just leadership. So in November, the GOP/MAGA-Nvts can select a new leader to take charge in January (implying GQP takes back control of Senate). VOTE BLUE!

[jeanlaubenthal]

Is he really fully functioning and fulfilling his job?

[justina]

Just stepping down as leader. Needs to resign from Congress immediately

[howkel]

Looking forward to the complete GOP chaos and backstabbing that this will trigger.

[donnaross]

Should have been sat down, it's time let someone else take that position
