Florida Congressman Michael Waltz, who serves on the Armed Services Committee, shared his reaction to the news of Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell's upcoming resignation in November. Congressman Waltz expressed some frustration with Senator McConnell, noting a perceived lack of alignment with House Republicans. However, he acknowledged McConnell's significant legacy in shaping the judiciary, particularly in appointing judges to the courts, including the Supreme Court.
