Mitch McConnell: “Mitch McConnell called it the most important piece of legislation in the last Congress.”

Part of my decision to retire at the end of my term this coming January was being honest about the demands of Senate work.

I still have unfinished business to complete on your behalf, and I have every intention of finishing the job you elected me to do.

I'll maintain an intensive regimen of physical therapy from home during the state work period, and I'll continue to engage with my staff and colleagues on important Senate business.

Even in the public eye, I feel that same instinct – I can’t help it.
