Mitch McConnell

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has placed the onus on House Speaker Kevin McCarthy to negotiate a debt ceiling solution with the White House.

In the Senate, Mitch McConnell became the longest serving Senate leader in history. Meanwhile, the House failed to elect a speaker in a single ballot, the first time in a century.

Sen. Rick Scott launched an uphill bid to be minority leader. Sen. Mitch McConnell was handily reelected but many rank-and-file senators are frustrated at party leaders following the 2022 elections.

A bill would include incentives for states to pass red-flag laws, funding for school safety and mental health resources, expanded background checks and more.

Senate passed by unanimous consent legislation that would provide round the clock security to Supreme Court justices' families after protests outside some members of the court's homes.

However, the GOP has not reached full consensus on the Kremlin's actions, with former President Donald Trump remaining an outlier in the party he ostensibly leads.

For years, Mitch McConnell converted Donald Trump's heat to power the conservative agenda. Now he needs to again harness that insurgent energy, a challenge when Trump's heat is directed at him.

In a rare break with his party, the Senate minority leader said that it's not the RNC's job to single out party members with different views, referring to Reps. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger.

Democratic voting legislation has virtually no path to becoming law, but Senate Republicans are fighting it as the GOP still struggles over how to move forward from the 2020 election.

The Freedom to Vote Act was a unified Democratic effort led in part by West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, who was trying to get Republican support. Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell vocally opposed it.
