Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Ky., speaks during an interview with the Associated Press at his office in the Capitol, Monday, Nov. 6, 2023 in Washington.

Florida Congressman Michael Waltz, who serves on the Armed Services Committee, shared his reaction to the news of Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell's upcoming resignation in November. Congressman Waltz expressed some frustration with Senator McConnell, noting a perceived lack of alignment with House Republicans. However, he acknowledged McConnell's significant legacy in shaping the judiciary, particularly in appointing judges to the courts, including the Supreme Court.

Regarding McConnell's potential successor, Senator Tom Cotton's name has been mentioned as a possible replacement.
