During a Wednesday meeting about the future direction of the Senate Republican conference, Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) strongly advised against the imposition of term limits on the Senate leader role, according to two sources in the room. This stance was reiterated in light of discussions among GOP members about the need to prevent a 'monarchy' and ensure diverse decision-making as they approach the selection of a new leader in November, following McConnell's planned departure.
