Sod's Law 445 Posted February 28 BTW this site seems to be pulling a 'McConnell' on me and freezing whenever I try and post anything. If these posts are taking hours to show up, I apologise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

livingbygrace 315 Posted November 7 Mitch gave a press conference on how he thought the elections went. Boy he looked so frail and almost sickly to me. Also slow in speech and not much power behind his voice. I thought he was retiring in January but it seems he is just stepping down as leader, and has a few more years. I cannot see him having the energy for it, but he could prove me wrong https://www.c-span.org/video/?539853-1/minority-leader-mcconnell-holds-news-conference-2024-election 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He really should retire for his own sake... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brad252 807 Posted November 7 His seat is next due for election in 2026 and I believe he won't run again. Given his failing health, including those freezes in public, combined with his age, I wouldn't be surprised if he does a Dianne Feinstein and dies before then.

He'll likely pull a Reid and die not too many years after his final term anyway. His health doesn't seem to be great, and he seems to be the kind of sod who needs to work to keep going.
