Mitch McConnell will leave his position as Senate Republican leader in November after a record career in Congress. McConnell, 82, who represents the state of Kentucky, is the congressman who has served as leader of his party in the Senate for the longest time in history.
During Donald Trump's presidency, he helped enact a sweeping $1.5 trillion tax package in 2017, which cut corporate rates, gave new benefits to private businesses and transformed tax codes for individuals. He also propelled three conservative Supreme Court nominees through the Senate confirmation process, helping to reshape the American judiciary and society.
