Senator Mitch McConnell has served as head of the Republican Party in the Senate since 2007, navigating his caucus through multiple presidencies and legislative challenges.
Experts suggest that McConnell's leadership will be seen as a pivotal change for the Republican Party, shifting the Senate away from collaboration and towards hyper-partisan conflict.
Political science expert Steven S Smith noted that McConnell’s time as Senate leader has seen a rise in minority obstruction tactics and an increase in deep partisan polarization.
While some view McConnell as a traditional Republican, others see him as a vital counter to Trumpism, the effects of which will unfold in the future.
