And I would also note that when Donald Trump, when it became clear that he was going to be the nominee in 2024, Mitch McConnell endorsed him. He said that he saw his role as a leader in the party to stand behind whoever the party nominated. But it had always been a relationship of convenience and never one of personal warmth or like.

Yeah, I think it's very apparent today that Mitch McConnell is increasingly an outlier in the Republican Party. The couple of things I'd point to is the series of votes against Trump's cabinet nominees. I never thought I'd see the day that Mitch McConnell would vote against a Republican president's defense secretary.

It just shows you how much of the MAGA movement stands at odds with the type of people that Mitch McConnell thinks should have the caliber to be in a cabinet. And also right now, which I think is happening under our feet as we talk, is Donald Trump's realignment in the Ukraine-Russia war. Clearly not as much of an ally to Ukraine as Mitch McConnell has been.

Mitch McConnell has been one of the loudest and most powerful people to continue U.S. funding and support for Ukraine in its fight against Russia. And the parties just move past him. McConnell is not the leader of the party anymore when it comes to the view that the U.S. should play a robust role in foreign policy.

No, I don't think. And he said this in his speech today. He said he had two constituencies. One was the Senate Republican Conference and one was the people of Kentucky. And I think McConnell, when he was leader, was of the view that you don't get to break with the party. The leader has to be where the consensus of the conference is.

It is only because he is now sort of this independent operator that he would take these votes. Mitch McConnell is only voting against nominees now because he's not the leader. And he's always been very clear that when you are the leader, you have to vote with the party. Which means that sometimes being a leader means voting for things you might not necessarily agree with.

He's already running. There's a candidate by the name of Daniel Cameron. He's a former attorney general for the state of Kentucky. He's already announced. I think it was within seven minutes of McConnell announcing his retirement. So it tells you that this is pretty orchestrated. McConnell has been his mentor. He has served statewide in Kentucky. He is a black man.
