Mitch McConnell is stepping down as GOP Leader of the Senate this November.
The news bubbled back up again today but we actually first learned about this back in February of this year:

We covered it 8 months ago here:
But what is new is the chatter about who will replace him.
Some are saying Rand Paul:

Other candidates percolating are Mike Lee and Ted Cruz.
I was really happy to see this from Tommy Tuberville, who says he will not support anyone who opposes President Trump in that role:

Bravo sir!
Here are more details, from the Washington Examiner:
Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) said there is “no doubt” he will not support any senator seeking to replace Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) who opposes former President Donald Trump, stressing the need for unity within the Republican Party.
McConnell announced his retirement ahead of the 2024 election cycle, in which Tuberville said the Republican Party’s chances of retaking the Senate are “looking good in a lot of areas.” When asked about who he would like to see take on McConnell’s position in 2025, he opted to keep his opinion to himself while previewing a litmus test for anyone vying for McConnell’s role.
“Well, there’s no doubt I’m not going to vote for anybody that’s not on board with President Trump,” Tuberville said on Fox News’s Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo. “Been there, done that, seen what’s happened. We have to have strong leadership that believes in the American people, believes in our Constitution, and gets away from this deep state, emotional bureaucracy that we have in Washington, D.C. I’m looking forward to being in the majority. I’ve been in four years now, and I’ve not been in the majority at all. We’ve been kicked in the teeth by Sen. Schumer and the Democrats. It’s time to get back to realization.”
When Tuberville was pressed on who he wants to take McConnell’s role, he revealed that he has spoken to the two current frontrunners, Sens. John Thune (R-SD) and John Cornyn (R-TX). However, he has told both he is not making a decision until after the election, citing how potential Republican newcomers could make “a huge difference” in the party’s Senate leadership.
Tuberville was also asked about a possible Republican sweep in the 2024 election cycle, keeping control of the House of Representatives while retaking the White House and the Senate. While he acknowledged he does not know as much about the House as he does about the Senate, he thinks the party has “a great chance” at keeping control of the House while getting anywhere between 51 and 54 Senate seats next month.
The Alabama senator specifically called out Republican Senate candidate Dave McCormick’s campaign in Pennsylvania, saying McCormick has been running “a very good race.” Tuberville also gave a shoutout to Republican Senate candidates Eric Hovde and Bernie Moreno in Wisconsin and Ohio, respectively.
My friend MJTruth presents a more dark view of what's happening with McConnell:

Did you know his sister-in-law Angela Chao died shortly before he announced?

Did you know his sister-in-law Angela Chao died shortly before he announced?
Did you know shortly after he announced he was stepping down, her death was officially declared a Criminal Investigation?
Details:
• Investigators & prosecutors withheld the release of reports, 911 logs, audio and video evidence.• The ranch she died on is owned by a corporate entity connected to her husband, venture capitalist Jim Breyer.
• The report is that her Tesla backed into a pond with her in it. Sus..
Angela is the sister of Mitch McConnells Chinese handler wife, Elaine Chao, who was the former Secretary of Transportation.
There’s so much more here than people understand…

But this was by far my favorite post....
Mitch McConnell will soon be retreating back into his shell:

No matter what you think of him, he really should step down....
He's old and by all accounts very unwell.
Remember these reports?
FACT-CHECK: Mitch McConnell’s Hands and Mouth Alarmingly Black and Blue?
BREAKING: Mitch McConnell “Freezes Up” Again For About 30 Seconds…Very Alarming
BREAKING: Mitch McConnell "Freezes Up" Again For About 30 Seconds...Very Alarming
This is a Breaking News Alert...
Sen. Mitch McConnell has just "frozen up" again.
Ok, who forgot to reboot Mitch this morning?
Turn him off and turn him back on again, should fix it!
It's actually no laughing matter, it's incredibly frustrating that we have people this old and this gone allegedly "representing us" in Congress.
I'm sure it's also very alarming to his family, but at this point I have almost no sympathy for them.
You want him to have some dignity and privacy?
Get him the Hell out of Congress!
Stop gravy-training him!
The family gets no sympathy from me.
Get this guy and Diane Feinstein and all the rest of them OUT OF CONGRESS!
And take Joe with you!

For reference, almost the exact same thing happened about a month ago.
You can see that here:
Mitch McConnell "BOT" Freezes Up, Shuts Down Mid-Sentence?
No, I'm not going tinfoil hat on you...
I'm not saying Mitch McConnell is dead and has been replaced by a robot.
We don't go there here at the WLTReport.
Not my thing.
I'm just saying if he was dead and replaced by a robot that suddenly short circuited and shut down mid-sentence it would look exactly like what just happened at this press conference.
This is real.
I can't explain it, I don't know what happened, I don't know what exactly "this" is....
But I do know it's real.

We never take joy in medical conditions suffered by anyone, but Mitch is about as much of an unsympathetic figure as you can get.
Did he sell us out to China?
Treason doesn't engender much sympathy in my book.
How soon until someone memes this into Mitch short-circuiting while his "bot" waits for new instructions from China?
Other angles:
Mitch McConnell stopped speaking and froze at the podium today.
…he had to be physically walked back behind closed doors.

NBC News has also confirmed the event:
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell suddenly stopped speaking during a weekly Republican leadership news conference on Wednesday afternoon, appearing to freeze, and then went silent and was walked away.
McConnell, R-Ky., had been making his opening remarks when he stopped talking. His Republican colleagues asked if he was OK, and Sen. John Barrasso of Wyoming escorted McConnell away from the cameras and reporters.
Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa made a sign of the cross as if she was praying for McConnell.
A few minutes later, McConnell walked back to the news conference by himself. When asked about his health, he said he was fine.
McConnell's office didn't immediately return a request for comment.

And for the record, if you're like me you can't see this and not IMMEDIATELY think of when the Pelosi bot has a similar short-circuit....
Remember this?
PELOSI: Stroke or Another Glitch? You Decide...
Nancy Pelosi suffered another extremely bizarre moment on TV recently.
You go ahead and watch and see what you think....
Is this a healthy, sane, normal person?
Is this someone who should be leading CONgress.....or someone who should be in Assisted Living?

It wasn't the first time the Pelosi-bot has malfunctioned on live TV.
This next one is one of my favorites of all time.
Remember this one?
This clip had been banned from YouTube and I thought it was lost forever until I finally just discovered it again today.
This is the infamous and absolutely classic moment when Nancy Pelosi went on live TV and malfunctioned.
She appeared to "restart" midway through the interview.
"Good morning.....
Sunday morning....."
If you've never seen it before, it's truly one of the most astonishing interviews you will ever seen.
If you have seen it before, please enjoy again and bookmark this so you can watch any time you want.
