Republican Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky is 83 years old, and he has finally decided – after 18 years — that he will not be running for re-election in 2026.
“Seven times my fellow Kentuckians have sent me to the Senate. Every day in between, I have been humbled by the trust they place in me to do their business, right here,” he said in a speech on the Senate floor. “Representing our commonwealth has been the honor of a lifetime.”
“I will not seek this honor for an eighth time,” he continued. “My current term in the Senate will be my last.”
