  1. As one of the most influential figures in American politics, McConnell's departure from this role will undoubtedly have far-reaching implications for the party's direction and priorities.

  2. Yay go and repent to God for not helping the poor, what a shameful record

  3. He should have stepped down 30 yrs ago…

  4. Congrats McConnell. America is worse off because of you. Unfortunately you will always be remembered.

  18. He will remain a Senator. Why is he not retiring?

  19. NOOOO, WE NEED YOUR TRUMP OPPOSITION! PLEASE DON’T GO! IS TRUMP PRESSURING YOU TO STEP DOWN, THROUGH HIS MAGA EXTREMISTS? PLEASE STAY! YOU’RE APPARENTLY THE ONLY REPUBLICAN MAN OF ETHICS IN CONGRESS! THAT’S SOMETHING TO BE PROUD OF!

  20. Good riddance! A complete dingleberry.

  21. THIS CRIMINAL AS CRIMINAL TRUMP AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR TAKING AWAY WOMEN’S RIGHTS.
