Jimmy Fallon commented on Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s decision to step down from his leadership post in November.
“After nearly 20 years as the Republican Leader of the Senate, McConnell is stepping down,” the host of the “Tonight Show” joked. “McConnell just turned 82, so that can only mean one thing. He’s running for president.”
“McConnell said that it’s time for the next generation of leadership,” Fallon continued. “Then he looked around the Senate and realized the next generation is 75.”
McConnell made his announcement on Wednesday, stating his intention to finish out his term until 2026. He has been a senator since 1985 and has led the Republican party since 2007.
