Geoff Bennett:
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, the longest-serving Senate leader in history, is set to step down from that position next month.
Over nearly two decades in the role, he has become one of the most consequential and powerful senators in U.S. history, reshaping the federal judiciary, now navigating a party transformed by Donald Trump.
The Associated Press’ Michael Tackett has written the first definitive biography of Mitch McConnell due out on Tuesday. It’s called “The Price of Power: How Mitch McConnell Mastered the Senate, Changed America, and Lost His Party.”
Michael Tackett joins us now.
Thanks for being here.
Michael Tackett, Author, “The Price of Power: How Mitch McConnell Mastered the Senate, Changed America, and Lost His Party”: Oh, great to be here, Geoff.
