McConnell: ‘I’m Not Leaving the Senate’

‘I’m particularly involved in fighting back against the isolationist movement in my own party’

EXCERPT:

MCCONNELL: "Well, first, let me just say, I’ve served longer as leader than anybody in American history, 18 years. So, look, I finally thought it was time to go in a different direction, but I’m not leaving the Senate. And I’m particularly involved in actually fighting back against the isolationist movement in my own party and so many others as well. And assemble of that lately is are we going to help Ukraine or not? And I think it’s extremely important that we do that. I’m not a particular fan of the Biden Administration, particularly the decision to run out of Afghanistan, which is like sending Putin a green light. And — but we are where we are, and the Europeans have stepped up.”
