(WASHINGTON) — Longtime Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell will speak on the floor shortly and is expected to confirm reports that he will not seek reelection next year.
McConnell, who turned 83 today, was largely expected to end his Senate tenure at the conclusion of his term in January 2027 but this will make that official.
The Kentucky lawmaker stepped down from his role as party leader last year after a record-breaking 18 years atop the GOP conference.
