BREAKING: Mitch McConnell‚ the longest-serving Senate leader in history‚ will step down from that position in November. https://t.co/PkIo2reLfE — The Associated Press (@AP) February 28‚ 2024 From the Associated Press: His decision punctuates a powerful ideological transition underway in the Republican Party‚ from Ronald Reagan’s brand of traditional conservatism and strong international alliances‚ to the fiery‚ often isolationist populism of former President Donald Trump. McConnell said he plans to serve out his Senate term‚ which ends in January 2027‚ “albeit from a different seat in the chamber.” Aides said McConnell’s announcement about the leadership post was unrelated to his health.

It arrived today.” The senator had been under increasing pressure from the restive‚ and at times hostile wing of his party that has aligned firmly with Trump.
