Sen. Mitch McConnell, 83, announced on Thursday that he will not be seeking reelection to the Senate.
'Seven times, my fellow Kentuckians have sent me to the Senate,' McConnell said on the Senate floor.
'Every day in between I've been humbled by the trust they've placed in me to do their business right here,' he said.
Representing our commonwealth has been the honor of a lifetime. I will not seek this honor an eighth time. My current term in the Senate will be my last,' he continued.
McConnell, the longest-serving GOP Senate leader, first entered the Senate in 1985, but he has been battling a string of health issues and multiple falls in recent years.
He also has earned the ire of Donald Trump and his MAGA supporters after a years-long feud.
McConnell voted against three of Trump's top Cabinet picks in recent weeks: Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard and Robert Kennedy Jr.
He was the only Republican to vote against the confirmation of Gabbard and RFK Jr., spurring MAGA loyalists to call for his resignation.

No. Resignation wouldn’t be better.
I hope the door hits him in the azz on his way out.
When does his current term end?
The egotistical, on the take, Chinese enabler RINO should be fleeing like those bureaucrats resigning in the DC offices just ahead of the evidence being found by the DOGE investigators that they were crooks.
but the bad news is that — as of this moment — it will likely be a rematch of the 2023 Guv race, which the leftist demonrat won by 5 pts.
Good riddance, Yurtle. Maybe KFC will come back to Kentucky now. I wonder how many other businesses he ran out of Kentucky.
True. Sinners, starting with me, have to be ready.
Matthew 24:36., "But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.".
Won’t run? He can barely hobble.
Donald Trump’s GOP Approval Rating Is 99 Points Higher than Mitch McConnell’s
Why was this traitor ever elected to begin with, and by whom?
I will always thank Mitch for keeping the evil psychopath, Garland, off the USSC. But China Mitch has betrayed conservatives too many times to warrant any sympathy any more. Retire Mitch. And don’t let the door hit your @$$ on the way out.
He won’t run when he would have been squashed like a bug anyway? Yeah, OK.
Now he won’t be falling down stairs.
Seven times, my fellow Kentuckians have sent me to the Senate.
What do they do for a hobby put their hand in a vice and see how much pain they can take?.
Sounds just like California.
I was obviously misinformed. Thanks for the detailed, and yet still snarky, correction.
Just saying, McConnell is frail, he says he will not run again next year.
Just saying, it is unknown.
Some time ago, I saw him with what looked like a port attached to his wrist. He has been having zone out times where he seems to freeze up in a trance.
The governor of Kentucky will run. Does he have a chance since he’s won statewide twice?
