McConnell to Step Down as Leader at the End of the Year
The long-serving Republican leader said he would step aside from the role at the end of his term but remain in the Senate, acknowledging that his views on national security had put him out of step with his party.

He's not the only one who feels that way. I didn't leave the party....

[Jolly]

He needed to go. Too old for the position.

[Mik]

His health is in question.

Maybe it’s really just putting country over party. Ever thought about that?

@Jolly , as all patriotic Americans know, when we say “country” without qualification, we can mean only one country: the United States of America.
