It's interesting how media focuses so much on those who aren't popular. JD Vance is the front runner for 2028 and McConnell has a really low approval rating.
Check out McConnells approval ratings from those taken some months ago:
Shouldn't politicians care enough for their constituents? Instead they play permanent internal politics as the Establishment are falling further behind. Weird. Term limits are better for improving results.
Former Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) expressed no small degree of contempt for Vice President JD Vance in an interview posted by Politico on Friday as he explained how he has finally found a way to get Donald Trump's ear.
In an interview with Politico's Jonathan Martin, McConnell, who is not running for re-election, applauded the president for his attack on Iran and hoped that he will also take a more active role in helping Ukraine oppose the Russians.
As he explained, he has been in a battle with the GOP's international isolationist wing –– which includes Vance –– and feels that has made gains with Trump with his speeches on the Senate floor.
"McConnell’s hope is that after the success Israel and the U.S. have jointly had over the skies of Iran, he can be something of an evangelist to convert Trump to the peace-through-strength gospel of interventionism that the octogenarian lawmaker has prioritized in the final Congress of his four-decade Senate career," Martin wrote.
