OPINION | Although McConnell is far from perfect, losing him now would be devastating for the Republican Party and America.
Republican were in McConnell’s shoes. After all, McConnell’s counterpart in the lower chamber, Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, provided the security footage to Fox News in the first place.
Now, odds are that if and when Mitch McConnell leaves the U.S. Senate, he won’t be replaced by a MAGA populist like Sens. Josh Hawley or Ted Cruz. Not immediately, at least. Still, just this year, McConnell had to fend off a leadership challenge by Sen. Rick Scott . Ask yourself whether Rick Scott would be more like McConnell or more like McCarthy.
It’s too early to hit the panic button, but these recent developments serve as a reminder that McConnell won’t be here forever. And even if the person who replaces himto do the right thing, that person will not have the political skills, experience, toughness, and savvy that McConnell possesses. He’s in the autumn of his years. The end of the McConnell era is near; we should start preparing for it. Whether you are a liberal or a conservative, McConnell’s exodus—whenever that occurs —should be greeted with sadness and trepidation. You’ll never know how good you had it until it’s gone.
