Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), “the former majority leader and the most consequential Republican senator of his generation, will announce Thursday he will not seek reelection next year,” Politico reports.
“The announcement is expected in a midday floor speech. It will not come as a major surprise in Washington or his home state: After stepping down as GOP leader last year, he gave few indications he would pursue an eighth term in the Senate.”
