"I turned 82 last week. the end of my contributions are closer than I'd prefer...I always imagined a moment when I had total clarity and peace" about the sunset of my work. A moment when he is certain he has helped preserve the ideals he so strongly believe. That day arrived today." He also says, "This will be my last term as Republican leader of the Senate. I'm not going anywhere anytime soon. I'll complete my job my colleagues have given me to do until we select a new leader in November...I'll finish my job the people of Kentucky hired me to do as well." www.c-span.org/video/?533885-...

"The Senate has been my life.". Yeah. That's the problem.
no shit sherlock
Even as a conservative I think I can speak for both sides of the aisle here and say GOOD.
Yep.
You don’t speak for all conservatives. I’ve hated and loved him, and I will miss him.
There is no such thing as "Conservatives."
The word You were looking for is CUCK.
@@obrietshe speaks for 99.9% of us.
@@arcadiagreen150 what it is about Trump-worshippers that makes them think they’re anywhere near the majority? I’m afraid you’re in for a rude awakening when the election rolls around.
You are the perfect reason term limits are needed.
As a "republican" (all politics is petty evil) I approve this message
Your the reason America is failing
76 plus like for me
And your opinion.
Enough said
There are term limits. It's called voting
@@jamesbraun9842 have you ever explored how incumbent senators are funded against opponents? Campaigning is a money game
He loves the Senate so much he poisoned it nearly to death.
xD
He has bankrupted America and screwed my grandkids future. He remains a multimillionaire.
He should step down on the spot. No reason to wait
Thank God! Leave now..
His generation of politicians should have all left office 15-20 years ago. Term limits are needed and if there's a lower age limit there should also be a upper age limit. Period.
We have term limits, have you ever heard of voting??
@@Ron-DeSantis2028 Have you heard of the presidency? They get two terms. The same should go for Congress & the Supreme Court. This way our country isn't held back by ppl with decades-long, geriatric grudges.
@@annaanon8419if you’re incapable of partaking in your democracy and voting, you can just say so
About dam time
Should have left 20 years ago...
Goodbye, it was horrible knowing you!
Something about a door and a butt comes to mind.
Don't let the screen door hit ya where the Good 👍 Lord split ya!
Good, long over due!
Thank God
Yeeeeooooooooooooo
Another one bites the dust , byeeee Mitch 👋👋
I think I speak for eveyone under 60 when I say it's about damn time, and take rest of the geriatrics with you. This man has been in office since before I was born and I'm approaching 40! Term limits are needed now!!
As someone over 60 I totally agree.
A turtle must know when to lay down his shell
It must be hard to retire from a job knowing that you're going to be leaving behind millions of $ of future income on the table.
It's time to leave when you go from hoping others remember your name to hoping you remember your own name.
🤣👍
can't even be upfront and honest with his own health issues, but rather deflect the reason for his sudden introspection on the death of a relative. SMH.
GOOD RIDANCE!! FINALLY! HOLY HELL
Mitch McConnell finally doing something for all Americans!
Term Limits
Don’t let the door hit you on your way out 😀👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Don’t let the door hit u on the way out
Don't let tha door hitcha
We still need term limits
Good!
I thought he was gonna freeze up again
mitch is returning to the sea
"..it is distinctly possible to remain too long at the Fair."-Joan Didion
🎉 Is about time!
Must be nice to have a job where you show up when you want to, ruin everything in sight, and then get to decide when you should leave.
"My career in the U..." Your what? Needs term limits.
Exactly it's supposed to be public service ...he actually thinks he's done any good fkr the country
Hey, Chuck Grassley….
Way over due
About time! Great day for America
My condolences to the McConnell family for the loss of a family member. I have never liked Mitch, but losing a family member is rough on anyone. As for this being his last term... that should have happened years ago. Term limits need to be a thing.
Poster boy for term limits.
Finally
That is one step for a small man,
One giant leap for mankind
Thank goodness!!!
God knows what you did Mitch and you will be judged for you're doing
Passing the torch of a *career politician* . He replaced an incumbent 40 years, and ran on the fact that the incumbent was a *career politician* and it was time for a change. He must have forgotten the reason he ran...or not.
They'll say anything to get a vote
I lost track how long he has been here. Thanks for your service Mitch 🫡
Long over due!
I think it is a good decision to retire after the current term ends.
FINALLY!
poster child for term limits is finally leaving.
no that would be chuck grassley
We need term limits
If hanging on to a paycheck and waiting to die in office was a person. Moscow Mitch has been on public assistance for 40 years and the state of KY is still poor, uneducated, and backwards.
He's going back into his shell?
👏
Smh, gotta love Kentucky......
“Young age.” Lmao. He thinks they’re young
*RAND PAUL SHOULD BE THE NEXT SENATE GOP LEADER!!!!!!!!!* ****************
I like him, but I don't think he's the right pick. He seems like one of those guys who knows he doesn't need to be in charge to get stuff done. I think someone like Steve Daines or John Thune would be would be better suited to lead.
We've never left ragen era
#KentuckyFlipsBlue 💙🌊 #BlueWave2024 💙🌊
As a former Republican, I say about time. But was an honor to have served as an intern for you Senator McConnell when you were Senate Majority Leader in 2014
What made a former McConnell intern up and leave the entire Republican party?
Congratulations, by the way!
❤❤❤
It was a heartfelt speech
Too little too late MM
Doing the right thing.Need term limits.
TERM LIMITS!!
He needs to leave NOW!😡
Every Democrat, Republican, Independent, Atheist, Christians all say, Good Riddance!
"the leader of the free world'
Go out doing the right thing, Mr McConnell. Condemn the orange traitor.
Amazing speech by McConnell.
God bless him for knowing when to say when.
Are you on glue?
@HmmmYeahRiiiiiight lol Underneath, I'm freaken glad he's retiring his position, he's a Democrat ass kisser.
finally a chance to say what he really thinks, let's see if he can man up
Yea ! ! !!!!
Is He leaving? Yeah! Hooray! So glad he will be out as leader. It should have happened a long time ago. I believe he will be voted out in November. I wish you a retirement that is to your liking, but I am so glad to see you go. God bless you and may God have mercy on us all if these people stay in power.
He won't
He’s not up for election in November.
Mitch was the leader for a long time, I don't see him getting voted out, I see him stepping down though.
Liberals won't win a democrat, and most Republicans would rather keep a sane corrupt prick like Mitch then let when of those MAGA cultists in.
I'm a former Republican, I quit the GoP because they quit loving our troops when they elected mr "I like people who weren't caught".
Poor Mitch, he won't have his position in the Senate to provide him his narcissistic supply. Guess his family will have to fill the gap now.
He was there when Biden and Gore were senators, and segregationist Strom Thurmond was still alive. Senators need term limits
And Robert Byrd!
ALL OF OUR OLD LEADERS NEED TO GOOOOO. THE WOMAN IN THE BACK IS LITERALLY SHAKING SMH
You are 82 and no one is saying you are too old
Big changes are coming that’s why he’s cutting and running, no one has ever been as successful as a politician then this monster
Term limits are a must!
About time, step aside ? Weak for the party
Wow thats the first time I ever seen evil cower
Senators should have a maximum of TWO six-year terms. Then they need to go. It's ridiculous that Mitch has been in Senator of Kentucky since Reagan's presidency.
He should have been gone years ago along with many other politicians in that toilet they call DC. Term limits are badly needed.
Don’t let the door hit your neck pouch on the way out
Good riddance! We need term limits and no more 30 - 40 year careers in the Senate!🤨
Mitch, you brought it on yourself. You are not holier than thou! Just sayin'
Ok Mrs career politician…. Get the hell out as your interest is not Americas interest.
Na n’a na na na na na na hey hey hey GOOD F’N BYE!
GOOD RIDDANCE
Should have been 20 years ago
QUIT NOW!!
He needed to go longtime ago . He will be remembered in a bad light forever.
"Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons.
You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain,
Though you're thinking that you're leaving there too soon...."
--Neil Young.
I thought that was a great speech. Although the politics have held hostage no teaching of the reason and it's purpose within k-12 another leader yields. A man should not be against man but that is true and that is ever also the thrust into man. Politics. Law. Freedom.
Thank effing God
No job is too small for the Marines
You won't be missed
Who did his family lose to get him to finally leave? Take note.
Nobody over 70 should be allowed to stay in office. Your term must end on your 70th birthday then someone else can fill your unexpired term then they can run themselves.
How about leave now Mr Freeze
Time to move on and to lie down
TermLimits 2024!
He just said that he is leaving the leadership of the senate
Good catch! I heard he is still going to be in the capacity of Senator until he/it expires (2029)
