Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said Wednesday that he will step down as Republican leader in the Senate in November.
McConnell, 82, revealed his plans in an address to the Senate, where he currently serves as minority leader.
McConnell, who is the longest-serving Senate caucus leader in history, plans to keep his seat in the chamber, which he took in 1985. His current term ends in January 2027.

He has money to make and favors to call in.
He waits and the country suffers.
November? This guy might be room temperature by then.
Hopefully, we can get someone better, but I doubt it.
They should pick Cruz, Paul, or Lee. They’ll most likely pick Thune, Ernst, or Scott.
Just a heads up-
he is finishing out his term until 2027.
he is only stepping down from head of screwing the MAGA movement via the Senate.
McConnell said he plans to serve out the remainder of his term, which ends in January **2027**, and will continue to work hard leading his conference through this year’s election. Why doesn’t he step down from the minority Senate GOP Leadership NOW???

This must be the most popular topic on FR today.
Nope. The KY Gov. is required by law to select a replacement from the same party.
He still has to survive until then, and he honestly doesn’t look very much better than Joe Biden. Either one of them could easily die of natural causes between now and November.
But I agree with other posters, who say that he is simply hanging on, so that he can continue to do any possible type of damage he can to Donald Trump, and those who support him. In other words, he remains a RINO scumbag who doesn’t give a damn about the will of the people, only his own ego and pockets.
So, that’s why that RINO Cornyn has been licking all the liberals boots for so long. HE WANTS THAT JOB!
As a Texan I say not just no, but H3LL NO!!
Ky law prevents a the Governor from appointing a rat. Of course we know the law means nothing to them.
And what dirt-bag chinese owned crony will replace him?
The possibilities are endless
“ Would be better if he did it now.”
Ugh!
Why do you freepers pretend they’re not replacing him with someone worse
Honestly. Trump is going to have a worse fight against rinos and against cheating than ever.
The MAGA noose is tightening on the swamp…
Just RETIRE. BE GONE with you!
These political perverts are so addicted to power and an easy paycheck that they just cannot bring themselves to leave.
As a Texan I say not just no, but H3LL NO!!
Same here my fellow Texan....;) I can’t stand Cornrow and hope he gets his arse handed to him in his next election
“Who is next?”
Feinstein? Oh, wait. She DID depart.
There’s such a long list of decrepits who should go.
He wants to wait and see if President Trump is re-elected.
There will be a lot more RINO Republicans that will run for cover.
Their rackets are falling apart.
To save our Nation, DC (District of Corruption) must be cleansed.
They should IMMEDIATELY start the election/ vote process for a replacement Speaker.
And once a new speaker is elected he can step aside.
NOTHING will get done with Mitch a the Prez as a lame duck.
Shumer will steamroll the GOP.
