  1. You’ve over stayed your welcome Mitch’ you and and a lot of others needed to step down years ago there should be a limit!! I’m from your home state and I don’t see how you’ve been voted in every single year. 😮 all I can say is 🙌🏻 !!

  2. "The underappreciated aspect of this job is knowing when to move on to the next chapter", hospice

  3. Should've been decades ago, he's only leaving now because he's too big a cowardly douchbag to ever stand up to anyone! GR, traitor!!

  4. Term Limit: almost terminal

  5. no way that man can stay till 2027 that man barely can speak

  6. Typical conservatives!!! Yap on about “self responsibility” but make a mess and quit.

  7. Mitch knew he was slipping cognitively. It's too bad Biden can't see his own decline! Sad and pathetic

  8. I think he is fortunate, he will pass in his sleep….

  9. Finally the amöba COWARD step down….

    NOBODY gone miss him.

    NOBODY!!!

  10. Great news, resign swamp hack

  11. May this man have the decency to denounce potus45 while he is still in his position of leadership.

  12. Great! Now we will get another republican that's younger to block all the bills that would help the American people….. 🙄

  13. Plane is likely on standby, ready for his departure to Russia. He can now assist Trump with stacking the courts and to help the gop with their relationships with Russians. Long rest, Moscow Mitch.

  14. Awesome news! Well overdue. He Should have stepped down years ago.

  15. Finally. That nursing home is too full.

  16. GOP is like Trump's tail, he wiggles it as he wants.

  17. Good riddance to the worst Senate leader in history.
    This man is the face of arrogance and obstruction.
    He has done nothing positive in his entire career.

  18. He should be all the way out! He is too old! He is incapable of changing his own clothes. Out now, not 2027.

  19. McConnell was a horrible senator. Anyone would be better.

  20. He should go now…his wife is not helping him now..Ron in WA.

  21. A dose of reality: 'Moscow Mitch' McConnell hasn't been the leader of the Republican Party for a while. That job was, in effect, taken over a long time ago by Trump, MAGA-cultists in Congress & the Senate, and other Republican puppets of Vladimir Putin & Russian oligarchs! McConnell should just retire & enjoy the sunshine in Crimea (…while it's still under Russian occupation..)!!!

  22. Truly, a sad day for our nation. Thank you for all you've done Mitch

    Said no one 😂

  23. Why doesn’t the media just say what everyone knows? The Maga Party has taken over the Republican party and this country is going to change drastically for the worse.

  24. A full blown MAGA can now take over! Cruz, Johnson, Tuves, Vance, Tim etc etc. 😅

  25. “Well you were right about one thing, master. Negotiations were short.”

  26. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

  27. If Biden had any integrity, he would follow suit

  28. Your season was over a long time ago

  29. So…where are all the ageists who say Biden is "too old"? Crickets, because McConnell is Republican. But yeah,Palpatine decided he's done enough dirt,I guess…

  30. Term limits for all politics seats please. 🙏

  31. I am waiting for the funeral.
