Summary
Sen. Mitch McConnell announced he will not seek reelection in 2026, marking the end of his long career as a Republican leader.
The longest-serving Senate party leader, McConnell played a key role in shaping the Supreme Court, tax cuts, and major political battles but saw his influence wane amid Trump-era populism.
His departure signals a shift in the GOP, as a competitive race for his Kentucky Senate seat looms.
McConnell pledged to continue advocating for national defense and other priorities before retiring in January 2027.
Fuck Mitch McConnell and everything he’s done to bring down America. I hope he dies strangling on his own vomit in a gutter and his gravestone is only be surpassed in use as a toilet by Trump’s when he finally snuffs it.
