Mitch McConnell to step down as Republican leader in US Senate
"Mitch McConnell of Kentucky will step down as Republican leader in the US Senate in November.
The 82-year-old, the longest-serving Senate leader in history and the subject of fierce speculation about his health after recent scares in public, announced the move in a speech on the Senate floor.
Aides said the decision to step aside was not related to McConnell’s health.
