As the longest-serving Republican Senator in history, his tenure has been marked by continuous support from voters in his state, evidenced by his victory in seven Senate elections, most recently in 2020. Since January 3, 2007, McConnell has held the role of either minority or majority leader for the Republican caucus.

Now, the US is officially underscoring that these types of weapons are no longer acceptable in the battlefield and sending a message to the handful of countries that haven't joined the agreement, according to the military experts.  Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said, “Chemical weapons are responsible for some of the most horrific episodes of human loss.
