He's not even ruling out running again for a six-year term.
I'd be surprised if he does.
But I do think until you put term limits on members of Congress, how long they can serve, it's extremely hard for me to imagine any other way to make people leave office because of age.
What happens when your elected representative isn't showing up to work?
Can they still call in a vote from their hospital bed, their deathbed, their rehab facility, whatever it is?
The Senate is more antiquated even than the House.
There's not even a voting card, for example.
So you've got to go in there and give a thumbs up or thumbs down.
So if you're not in good enough shape to get to the Capitol with all of your staff, with your drivers, with all of these extras that the government gives you to do your job, then, yeah, I mean, you can't get a vote.
You can't represent your constituents.

Yeah.
Well, I think with Senator McConnell, I think he's a—everybody has their own story, right?
And, like, for him, he's a polio survivor.
He's always taken his physical health kind of, like, seriously in the sense that he doesn't want to project weakness, and he wants to say, like, I beat this disease, and I became the Senate Majority Leader.
What that has meant is there's been times when he's walked when he shouldn't have.
