Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell moved behind the scenes to reassure his allies and donors he can do his job after he froze for the second time in as many months in public – even as questions persist over how long the 81-year-old Kentuckian will stay as Republican leader.
McConnell, who has served for 16 years as the GOP leader, the longest of any Senate leader in history, has repeatedly made clear he’s staying in his job until the end of next year when the 118th Congress ends – something his confidantes say hasn’t changed even after his recent health scares.
But McConnell has consistently sidestepped questions about whether he would run for leader in the next Congress, which begins in 2025.
Following a recent concussion after falling and hitting his head in March, coupled with his two public frozen moments, Republican senators and aides told CNN they are doubtful he will try to run for the job again – potentially opening up the GOP leadership role for the first time since McConnell took the reins in 2007.
You quite evidently agreed that there is a problem with incompetence, as the previous user pointed out.
No the both sides problem is reveling in political opponents bad health
Hm, I would be very hesitant to say that the voters are enjoying the fact that their representatives are in poor health. Unless you are inferring that jests directed at one side for voting in an individual who is in poor health is “reveling in politicial opponents bad health”.
What do you mean? I’m saying saying most voters enjoy their own representatives poor health.
That’s not how I would interpret it- but that may be how you do.
Yeah, that’s what I just said that you said.
