McConnell Retires: Good Riddance, or a Warning?
After seven terms, Senator McConnell announced he will not seek re-election in 2026, concluding a lengthy Senate career. His tenure was marked by a staunchly conservative agenda, including blocking campaign finance reform and influencing the appointment of numerous conservative judges. These actions significantly shifted the political landscape, contributing to the overturning of Roe v. Wade and increasing corporate influence in politics. This decision ends his decades-long leadership in the Senate.
