Many of these races were winnable if McConnell had put the full backing of the Senate Republican caucus behind them, but he didn’t because the candidates would not be McConnell sycophants.

something come up in the past weeks that helped him decide it was time to go.
He did mention the death of his sister in law in his speech.
I posted in a since-deleted thread that Angela Chao was the CEO of China's largest dry bulk shipping company. Also, she sat on the Board of Directors of the Bank of China.
China may be divesting themselves of the "McConnell brand" since he's an asset that has fully depreciated in value.
Sending a Chinese hit squad into the United States via the southern border to close that account would not be too much of a stretch to imagine. The Chinese get their shipping company back, a seat opens up on the board of their bank, and then can shop around for a brand new asset with a long shelf life.
