Mitch McConnell, leader of the Republican majority in the U.S. Senate, announced this Wednesday that he will leave his position in November 2024.

In March 2023 he had to receive assistance in front of the cameras after losing the thread of his presentation and remaining silent and immobilized. In late August 2023, a journalist asked him about his plans to run for re-election. "What is my opinion about what?" asked the legislator, somewhat disoriented, to repeat the question.
