Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) vowed Wednesday to keep his job as Senate Republican leader at least through 2024 and to finish his seventh Senate term, which runs through 2026, despite recent health problems.

“I have no announcements to make on that subject,” McConnell, who is 81, told reporters when asked about calls from fellow conservatives to step down as Senate Republican leader.

“I’m going to finish my term as leader and I’m going to finish my Senate term,” McConnell declared.

    I don’t even think he’s got that long.

    There’s only a one year difference in these pictures.

      You have to drink a lot of baby blood to maintain the skin suit’s integrity, and it’s hard to sneak up on a baby when you keep having strokes

      That’s what I noticed in the videos where he’s having his episodes, he’s extra skinny and just looks extra like shit.
