Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell will step down from his position in November‚ the Associated Press reported Wednesday. The eighty-two-year-old senator will announce the decision on Wednesday‚ the publication reported. He will have been the longest-serving Senate leader in United States history. “One of life’s most underappreciated talents is to know when it’s time to move on to life’s next chapter‚” McConell will say in prepared remarks‚ which were obtained by The Associated Press. “So I stand before you today … to say that this will be my last term as Republican leader of the Senate.” “As I have been thinking about when I would deliver some news to the Senate‚ I always imagined a moment when I had total clarity and peace about the sunset of my work‚” McConnell will add. “A moment when I am certain I have helped preserve the ideals I so strongly believe. It arrived today.” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell‚ R-Ky.‚ talks to reporters following the weekly Senate Republican caucus policy luncheon at the U.S. Capitol on Feb. 27 in Washington‚ D.C. (Photo: Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images) McConnell spoke on Wednesday afternoon in the United States Senate where he called for “the next generation of leadership.” “I have full confidence in my conference to choose my replacement and lead our country forward‚” he said‚ describing himself as “immensely proud” of the accomplishments he has played “some role in obtaining for the American people.” He will serve out his Senate term‚ “albeit from a different seat in the chamber‚” until January 2027‚ the AP reported. McConnell has faced pressure in recent months for his handling of a variety of issues‚ most notably Ukraine aid and the border security deal. In interviews with The Daily Caller‚ Wisconsin Republican Sen. Ron Johnson‚ Utah Republican Sen. Mike Lee and Florida Republican Sen. Rick Scott all deeply critiqued McConnell in late February. “It is challenging to negotiate for border security from a position of strength when too many legislators share the Democrats’ conviction that defending Ukraine is more important than defending America‚” Lee told the publication. McConnell acknowledged Republican frustration with him in his remarks on Wednesday. “Believe me‚ I know the politics within my party at this particular moment in time. I have many faults. Misunderstanding politics is not one of them‚” McConnell said. “That said‚ I believe more strongly than ever that America’s global leadership is essential to preserving the shining city on a hill that Ronald Reagan discussed. For as long as I am drawing breath on this earth I will defend American exceptionalism.” This is a breaking news story. Please check back for updates. Have an opinion about this article?

If you're tired of censorship and dystopian threats against civil liberties‚ subscribe to Reclaim The Net. Mandated by the Federal Court‚ three members of the Liberal Party of Canada are required to unblock independent news outlet Rebel News on X and to pay a fine of $1‚750. This directive is the result of Rebel News triumphing over a lawsuit against Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault who had initiated a block against Ezra Levant‚ Rebel’s founder‚ on the same social media platform. “What’s so crazy is that they’re doing to us exactly what Steven Guilbeault‚ Trudeau’s extremist environment minister‚ did to us — and he was smashed in Federal Court‚” expressed Rebel News. It was purported that Guilbeault instructed his department to institute social media blocks against Rebel. Consequently‚ updates from the minister’s department were rendered inaccessible to the news platform. Levant characterized this blockade as an effective expulsion from the public platform that social media provides. “We’re one of the few media companies that doesn’t take government money‚ so we don’t toe the government line. So the Liberals always look for ways to punish us. Like Trudeau‚ Guilbeault doesn’t care about freedom of the press or other constitutional rights. They both admire China’s dictatorship and they think they can act like little dictators themselves‚ by censoring us‚” Levant said. “We couldn’t read anything‚ we couldn’t reply‚ and of course we couldn’t ask him journalistic questions on Twitter. We were effectively kicked out of the public square‚ which is what Twitter has become‚” Levant said of the more recent blockings. “We were banned from a government service just because we disagreed with a politician.” The post Court Orders Canada’s Liberal MPs To Unblock Independent News Outlet appeared first on Reclaim The Net.
