McConnell Urged to Step Down from Leadership, Suggests National Review
Conservative magazine National Review is calling for Senator Mitch McConnell to step aside as floor leader of the Senate Republican Conference. The magazine praised McConnell’s tenure but cited his recent health scares as a reason for him to step down. They suggested that McConnell could remain in office but relinquish his leadership role to younger lawmakers. National Review also questioned the attending physician’s conclusion that McConnell’s health issues were simply due to dehydration. McConnell has not indicated any intention to step down at this time.
