He’s not retiring from the Senate. He’s simply stepping down from his leadership position. And any replacement will likely be McConnell’s hand-picked sock puppet. So don’t expect anything to be different. The majority of the Republicans in the Senate are Trump-haters. Mitch isn’t going to allow anyone that supports Trump get the leadership post he’s vacating.

Actually he needs to remain in the senate, just not as minority leader. The game is on to pick his replacement right now.

He just doesn’t want to be the JERK that has to swear in the President Donald J. Trump.

Me. He’s been around too long for about 30 years.

Recent pics of Mitch makes him look like a warmed over corpse. He won’t last till November mentally or physically.

Absolutely. He will now probably side with the Rats on every major issue and will hand victory to Schumer and his ilk on issues like Ukraine, the budget, etc.

He said he wouldn’t be Leader any more. I missed the part where he said he was leaving the Senate. I don’t think he’s leaving the Senate. At least, I don’t think he is going to leave if he can be re-elected.

Does the vote on who replaces him take place after the 2024 election or before?

I agree. I think he probably has a serious illness.

He can’t go away now. A democrat will fill the seat.

So does this mean he’s going to be even more ineffective than before?

As with too many other senators.
