Coming up on Washington Week with The Atlantic:
Senate Republicans' Succession and Presidential Candidates' Electability:
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s surprise announcement that he will step down from his role in November will end his tenure as the longest-serving Senate leader in U.S. history and solidify Donald Trump as the leader of today’s Republican Party. Nevertheless, the race to become the Senate’s top Republican is already underway.
Meanwhile, both President Biden and former President Trump won their respective primaries on Tuesday, but the results revealed vulnerabilities in their 2024 bids for the White House.
