Is him stepping down related to his health? Dude sure seemed to be having some health episodes
There's an NYT article covering it and while it mentions his various health episodes it makes it sound more like McConnell acknowledging that on national security and Ukraine in particular that the party has moved away from his position and towards Trump, leaving him out of step with the party at large.
He also cites the death of a close relative.
But I have to imagine his health plays a role - though while stepping down as leader he still intends to serve his term as Senator out (2026.)
