Safe R, as it has always been. McGrath might make this a tighter margin than 2014, but anything closer than high single digits is beyond reach for her at this point. Hopefully, McConnell is entering his last term, and will retire in 2026. This century does not need to be disgraced with his loathsome presence as a public figure longer than it has been and will be.
Cameron will not be his successor in 2026. He's finished after the Breonna Taylor case
McConnell will be McConnell's successor in 2026. I think he'll remain too useful for Republicans to lose the leadership and too power-hungry to want to retire when he's still capable of controlling the caucus, which itself is odds-on.
Dear God, help us if McConnell runs for reelection in 2026. I wouldn't put it past him to do so, and there's the possibility that he's a "lifer", someone who remains in office until they die.
