Mitch Mcconnell announcement: Record-breaking leader of US senate to retire

Mitch McConnell, the Senate Minority Leader, has announced his resignation, marking a significant shift in the Republican Party. This move is seen as a reflection of the growing influence of former President Donald Trump within the party. McConnell has been a prominent figure in the Senate for over three decades and has been a vocal critic of Trump's actions and rhetoric. However, with Trump still maintaining a strong hold over the party, McConnell's decision to step down as the minority leader is being seen as a sign of the changing dynamics within the GOP.
