WASHINGTON – Today, Senator Eric Schmitt released a statement following the news that Leader McConnell is stepping down as Senate Minority Leader:

“I thank Leader McConnell for his decades of service in leadership in the United States Senate. Much will be said in the coming weeks and months, but Republicans must now look to the future and focus on continuing to deliver for our constituents, to taking back the majority in November, to enacting important conservative reforms, and to electing strong leadership to usher in a new era of success and prosperity for the American people.”
