McConnell to Step Down as Republican Senate Leader
Senator Mitch McConnell, Republican of Kentucky, became the longest-serving Senate leader in history at the start of this Congress.

So I stand before you today, Mr. President, and my colleagues, to say this will be my last term as Republican leader of the Senate. I’m not going anywhere any time soon. However, I’ll complete my job my colleagues have given me until we select a new leader in November, and they take the helm next January.
