Cotton: McConnell is One of the Great Lions of U.S. Senate

Washington, D.C. — Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) today released the following statement after Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell announced he would not seek reelection as Leader:

“Mitch McConnell is one of the great lions of the United States Senate. He saved the Supreme Court, preserved the rules and customs of the Senate, and always protected the free-speech rights of Americans, even when it was unpopular. He served as our floor leader longer than any other senator ever has. His legacy will always live in the halls of our hallowed Capitol.”
