After more than four decades, McConnell's time in the Senate is set to conclude at the end of this year.

Well, in addition to being a federal prosecutor, like you mentioned, and former SEC head, Clayton was an accomplished attorney in the private sector.
He currently serves as U.S.
attorney for the Southern District of New York.
And while there, his office has done a couple high-profile things, not least of which is the indictment of former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
Clayton has been confirmed by the Senate before for the SEC, which is a good sign for his ability to be confirmed again.
Not to mention his nomination follows up a pick last week by President Trump for an acting DNI, a different guy that went over like a lead balloon in the Capitol.
I mean, members of Congress are making the comparison that Clayton seems more qualified, including top Democrats on the intelligence committees.
Last week, the president named Bill Pulte to replace the current director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, on this temporary basis.
Pulte is the current director of a federal housing finance agency, but he's best known as the guy who's used mortgage documents to allege that the president's perceived foes have committed fraud.

And it's lapsing today in large part because of how mad folks were about the president naming Pulte in this acting capacity.
And now with the House on recess for a week, things aren't moving quickly to bring it back.
