Mitch can't retire. Hahahahaha! [View all]

Biden/Harris are going to win on Nov. 3. That’s pretty obvious to anyone who is paying attention. In addition, chances are very high that the Democratic Party will control the Senate in 2021. That means that Mitch “The Turtle” McConnell will become Minority Leader in the next Senate. That job is no fun, and I am fairly certain that he doesn’t want it.

But he can’t retire. Assuming he beats Amy McGrath this year, which is almost, but not entirely certain, he will be the powerless Minority Leader in an energized Democratic Senate. He will hate the job, and he will want to retire, but, because Kentucky has a Democratic Governor, Andy Beshear, McConnell won’t be able to retire without giving another Senate seat to the Democrats.

I hope he says, “F-it,” and retires anyway. I am sure that he is not looking forward to his impending demotion.
