U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham from South Carolina expressed his thoughts following the announcement by U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky that he will not seek reelection.
Graham stated, “I very much appreciate Mitch’s decades of dedicated service and leadership in the U.S. Senate.”
He acknowledged McConnell's significant influence, saying, “As the longest serving Senate Republican leader, Senator McConnell reshaped the American judiciary, particularly the Supreme Court. He has a lot to be proud of and I am sure he will work hard to the very end of his term.”
McConnell's decision marks the end of an era for one of the most influential figures in recent American political history.
