McConnell says he won't step down as minority leader this Congress

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell says he will not step down from his role as Republican leader during this Congress.

McConnell, 81, had a health scare on Wednesday when he abruptly stopped his remarks at a press conference and froze up, leaving the press conference for a time before returning later and answering questions. He confirmed to CNN in a statement he will stay on as leader through at least 2025.

This is a breaking story and will be updated.

This should surprise no one. These people will not give up power under any circumstances.
The Republic is lost.

Few members of our Leadership Class have ever held down a real job, and none of them are inclined to retire before assuming room temperature.
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

If it was just a TIA, it's not necessarily a big deal.  I imagine he'll reassess if things get worse.

Well at his age I think it is safe to assume that things aren't going to get much better.
