Majority Leader Schumer Statement On Leader McConnell’s Announcement He Will Step Down As Republican Leader In November
Washington, D.C. – Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) today released the following statement on Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s announcement that this will be his last term as Senate Republican Leader:
“During my years in the Senate, Mitch McConnell and I rarely saw eye to eye when it came to our politics or our policy preferences. But I am very proud that we both came together in the last few years to lead the Senate forward at critical moments when our country needed us, like passing the CARES Act in the early days of the COVID pandemic, finishing our work to certify the election on January 6th, and more recently working together to fund the fight for Ukraine.
“I know it’s been a difficult year for him and his family and I wish them the very best.”
