McConnell to Step Down , as Senate Republican Leader.
The Senate's longest-serving leader
ever, Mitch McConnell, will step
down in November, AP reports.
The 82-year-old made the
announcement on Feb.
28.
One of lifeās most underappreciated talents
is to know when itās time to
move on to lifeās next chapter, Mitch McConnell, via statement.
So I stand before you today ... to
say that this will be my last term
as Republican leader of the Senate, Mitch McConnell, via statement.
While McConnell will no longer serve as the Senate's Republican leader, he will complete his term,
"albeit from a different seat in the chamber," he said.
That term ends in January 2027.
President Biden, 81, commented
on the development.
Iāve trusted him and we have
a great relationship.
We fight like
hell.
But he has never, never,
never misrepresented anything, President Joe Biden, via statement.
According to McConnell's aides, the
announcement was not related to health issues.
As I have been thinking about when I would
deliver some news to the Senate, I always
imagined a moment when I had total clarity
and peace about the sunset of my work, Mitch McConnell, via statement.
A moment when I am certain I have
helped preserve the ideals I so
strongly believe.
Vice President J.D. Vance cast the tie-breaking vote in the Senate to pass Trumpās controversial "One Big, Beautiful Bill" after a night of intense Republican negotiations. The bill, which faced opposition over Medicaid and food stamp cuts, nearly failed due to concerns from Senator Lisa Murkowski. Trump, in Florida visiting the Alligator Alcatraz Detention Center, received the news mid-trip. Vance declared it a ābig win,ā while critics, including Elon Musk and Democrats, called it disastrous. Musk has even threatened to form a new party in protest.

Senate narrowly rejected an amendment to fund Planned Parenthood, with a 49ā51 vote. Demonstrators rallied in cities like Anaheim, California, demanding Congress defund the program. Pro-life advocate Lila Rose urged mass support for ending Medicaid funding. Meanwhile, Sen. Patty Murray criticized the bill, which could block reimbursement for cancer screenings and other non-abortion services. A recent Supreme Court ruling has empowered states to cut off Medicaid to Planned Parenthood, potentially closing 200 clinics and affecting millions of low-income Americans.

Planned Parenthood is under serious threat as Republicans move closer than ever to cutting its federal Medicaid funding. A surprise Senate ruling has allowed the GOP to include the defunding measure in their sweeping megabillāwithout needing to overcome a filibuster. Democrats are outraged, warning itās a direct attack on womenās health and reproductive rights. With $792 million in funding at stake, and abortion access on the line, the battle over Planned Parenthood is reaching a boiling point.

In a shocking and explosive speech from the launch of Floridaās controversial āAlligator Alcatrazā migrant detention center, Donald Trump hurled a vicious insult at former President Joe Biden, escalating the already fiery political rhetoric ahead of 2028. Standing beside Ron DeSantis and Kristi Noem, Trump joked about being locked up himselfāthen turned his fury on Biden in a jaw-dropping verbal attack thatās making headlines nationwide.
Critics have slammed the new facility as inhumane, while supporters hail it as a bold step in immigration enforcement. But it was Trumpās foul-mouthed tirade that stole the spotlight.
Watch the unfiltered moment, reactions from both sides, and what it means for the 2028 race.

In a stunning show of unity, former GOP rivals Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis toured a controversial new deportation facility in the Florida Everglades ā dubbed āAlligator Alcatraz.ā The swampy, isolated camp is designed to promote āself-deportationā by making conditions intentionally uncomfortable. Just last year, Trump branded DeSantis as āDeSanctimoniousā during the brutal 2024 primaries ā but now, he calls their relationship a ā10 out of 10.ā What does this alliance mean for U.S. immigration policy, and how will the public react to this extreme enforcement strategy?
