American Senator Mitch McConnell announced that he would not seek to be re -elected in 2026 after a 40 -year profession in Congress.
McConnell, 83, was the tallest party leader in the history of the Senate, But he stepped down from the Republican leadership While facing health issues.
Despite the support of many Donald Trump’s agenda during his first administration, McConnell became a more vocal critic for the president as he faces retirement at the end of his term.
He said in a letter about the Senate Hall, which announced that “his current term in the Senate will be the last.”
In his speech, McConnell encouraged his fellow members of the Senate to use their constitutional powers at a time when Trump sought to greatly expand the presidency.
McConnell voted against Trump’s appointments in more than all of all of the Senate Republicans by the opposition of Beit Higseth to the Minister of Defense, Tolsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence, and Robert Kennedy Junior to the Minister of Health.
He emphasized that Congress is a participating branch of the government in the government, and it was a financing responsibility for the confirmation of federal officials “possessing an authentic dedication to the rule of law above all.”
“The weight of our strength is not lost in advising and approving me,” said McConnell, who thwarted many of the Democratic President’s agenda in the legislative branch.
At the end of his speech, Senate members and employees applauded and gave him an existing applause.
In Kentucky, the politician in Kentucky developed a tactical and permanent thorn on the side of the Democrats. Even when his party was on the minority, McConnell used mysterious measures and sharp political strength to achieve seismic results at times.
In one of the most amazing maneuvers, the US Supreme Court nomination of President Barack Obama was held at the end of his second term.
The siege allowed the next President Trump to appoint a conservative judge instead, which paves the way for a comprehensive transformation of the country’s highest court. This, in turn, led to the abolition of national abortion rights and the broad expansion of immunity and presidential authority.
McConnell has also supervised Trump’s reinterpretion of the Federal Judicial Authority, helping the president to appoint a new list of conservative judges throughout the United States.
But McConnell was very cool to the former president after the riots in January 6, 2021 in the American Capitol, where McConnell and other legislators were passed in a violent crowd.
“There is no doubt, nothing is that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking today’s events,” McConnell said in a speech after the attack.
However, he did not vote for Trump’s conviction of the dismissal that stems from riots.
During the Biden Administration, McConnell took a hasty position on Ukraine, to become an explicit defender to support the United States even when Trump and the Maja base called for an unended response.
While he was severely criticized for the curb and change of many criteria for the Senate to pay its conservative agenda, the Republican has long stressed the importance of respecting the legislative body.
“I assure my colleagues that I will leave with great hope – endurance – to the Senate as an institution.”
