“I’m not going anywhere” is how Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) responded after Kentucky’s legislature passed a law that he supported requiring an appointment to a Kentucky Senate seat vacancy be from the same political party as the lawmaker who is departing.
Because McConnell supported the measure, it drew speculation that the 79-year-old senator, who has been in office since the early 1980s, would leave early.
