Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), will step down from the helm of the Republican Conference, ending His time as the Longest-serving Leader in Senate History.
McConnell has served as GOP Leader since 2007, made His announcement in a Senate Floor Speech Wednesday.
An Election to Replace him as Leader will occur in November, 2024.
“As I’ve 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 said. “That day arrived today.”
McConnell, 82, is regarded as a brilliant Political Tactician, and One of the most influential Lawmakers in Washington.
With Trump, McConnell helped enact a sweeping $1.5 trillion Tax Package in 2017, that slashed Corporate Rates, provided New Breaks for Private Businesses and Reorganized the Individual Tax Code.
And He shepherded Three Conservative Supreme Court Nominees: Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett, through the Senate Confirmation process, reshaping the Judiciary and American Society. At the same time, blocked Democrate chose Merrick Garland.
His current Senate Term ends January 2027.
