4. McGrath is a decent candidate but she is not aggressive enough

I don't think she connects well with people. She had a chance to really confront Moscow Mitch at their debate but couldn't quite do it.

I think Mitch will retire in a year or two. I don't think his health is good. He has been falling.

I think he ran because he thought he cold lead a Senate majority against Biden to try to position the party for midterm pick ups. He may retire sooner if the Senate flips.

he might step down from the leadership slot, but until there is a GOP Governor to replace him, I bet he stays.
