The Republican Party as We Know it is Over.
Senator Mitch McConnell is officially stepping down as Minority Leader in November, and GOP Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel is stepping down as well.
Yeah, it’s officially the end of an era.
Kentucky Senator and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is stepping down as the Senate Minority Leader at the end of the year.
Lexi Schapitl and Susan Davis with NPR write:
“Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell will step down as Republican leader in November.
McConnell, of Kentucky, announced his plans in an emotional speech on the Senate floor shortly after aides confirmed his plans to reporters. The move gives McConnell an opportunity to influence the process of selecting the next leader of his party in the Senate at a time of intense divisions within the Republican Party.
“This will be my last term as Republican leader of the Senate,” McConnell said, his voice cracking. “I’m not going anywhere anytime soon, however. I will complete the job my colleagues have given me until we select a new leader in November and they take the helm next January.”…”
Ah, but it doesn’t end there.
