McConnell to Step Down , as Senate Republican Leader.

The Senate's longest-serving leader ever, Mitch McConnell, will step down in November, AP reports.

The 82-year-old made the announcement on Feb.

28.

One of lifeā€™s most underappreciated talents is to know when itā€™s time to move on to lifeā€™s next chapter, Mitch McConnell, via statement.

So I stand before you today ... to say that this will be my last term as Republican leader of the Senate, Mitch McConnell, via statement.

While McConnell will no longer serve as the Senate's Republican leader, he will complete his term, "albeit from a different seat in the chamber," he said.

That term ends in January 2027.

President Biden, 81, commented on the development.

Iā€™ve trusted him and we have a great relationship.

We fight like hell.

But he has never, never, never misrepresented anything, President Joe Biden, via statement.

According to McConnell's aides, the announcement was not related to health issues.

As I have been thinking about when I would deliver some news to the Senate, I always imagined a moment when I had total clarity and peace about the sunset of my work, Mitch McConnell, via statement.

A moment when I am certain I have helped preserve the ideals I so strongly believe.

It arrived today, Mitch McConnell, via statement

Senate Confirms Tulsi Gabbard As Trumps Director Of National Intelligence Despite Partisan Divide

The Senate confirmed Tulsi Gabbard as President Trumps Director of National Intelligence, despite strong partisan opposition. The 52-48 vote reflected Trumps continued influence over the GOP, with only Sen. Mitch McConnell voting against her. Gabbard, a former congresswoman and Iraq war veteran, faced scrutiny over her controversial past stances, including her support for Edward Snowden. Critics from both parties voiced concerns, but Gabbards confirmation signals a significant shift in U.S intelligence leadership. #TulsiGabbard #SenateConfirmation #TrumpDNI #IntelligenceCommunity #GabbardConfirmation #MitchMcConnell #GOP #NationalSecurity #IntelligenceChief #Trump2024 #GabbardDNI #EdwardSnowden #ForeignPolicy #BipartisanPolitics #PoliticalDivide #USIntelligence #Republicans #PoliticalAppointments #RFKJr #DNIAppointment #BidenAdministration Also Read Tulsi Gabbard Alleges Democratic Senators Are Fomenting Religious Bigotry Against Hindus and Hinduism :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/democratic-senators-religious-bigotry-hindus-hinduism-011-4058093.html?ref=DMDesc Tulsi Gabbard Addresses Serious Allegations of Indian Government Directed Assassinations Against Americans :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/allegations-indian-government-assassinations-americans-011-4058079.html?ref=DMDesc Tulsi Gabbard Appointed Director Of National Intelligence By Donald Trump.

Trumpā€™s Tax Cuts Roar Back: Senate GOP Smashes Through Filibuster | Budget Showdown on Capitol Hill

In a dramatic late-night session, Senate Republicans passed a budget blueprint that sets the stage for extending Donald Trumpā€™s tax cuts ā€” and they did it without a single Democratic vote. By bypassing the filibuster through budget reconciliation, the GOP now has a clear path to push through Trumpā€™s economic, military, and border priorities. With $5 trillion in potential spending cuts and a looming debt ceiling crisis, this vote marks the beginning of a high-stakes budget war on Capitol Hill. Will this reshape Americaā€™s economic future ā€” or ignite political chaos? #TrumpTaxCuts #SenateVote #BudgetBattle #USPolitics #GOPAgenda #TaxReform #FilibusterBypassed #DonaldTrump #GovernmentSpending #CongressUpdate #OneindiaNews #CapitolHill ~HT.318~PR.274~GR.125~ED.346~
