Mitch McConnell, once part of the GOP's Reagan wing, is now seen as a supporter of Trumpism, as noted by @niamalikah. McConnell's attempt to exit on his terms is challenged by Trump's resurgence, GOP's shift towards isolationism, and his declining power in the Senate.
New: On McConnell’s attempt to exit on his terms But Trump is resurgent, the GOP is turning toward isolationism + McConnell’s own power in the Senate is ebbing Not the way he wanted to go—out the door in what he’s called the worst Congress he’s served https://t.co/yPKXYuvYn9
The Republican Party Mitch McConnell joined is nearly dead, crushed by Trump and his allies, @niamalikah says. So he's leaving https://t.co/DpZU8eNfZM via @opinion

McConnell may have come to politics with a Reaganesque purpose and ideology, but he will leave GOP leadership as handmaiden to Trumpism, @niamalikah says https://t.co/y9dQxm2ux7
McConnell is party-less. The GOP's Reagan wing is moribund, and Trumpism has swept past a once formidable — and ruthless — political player. "He will leave his post as a handmaiden to Trumpism, helping usher in a coarser, less free America." - @niamalikah https://t.co/gpJ9nY7JaG
