Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) was a no-show at the Senate GOP leadership weekly press conference Tuesday, likely the last of the Kentucky senator’s nearly two-decade stint as leader, after a fall last week.
McConnell’s absence marks the second straight week without the longest-serving leader at the podium.
