• McConnell speaking more freely about plans once no longer Senate leader, including pushing back against isolationist foreign policy in GOP • Remains committed to serving full term through 2026, but no hints on reelection plans • Will keep influencing GOP politics as prolific fundraiser and appropriator for Kentucky • Continues zingers against Biden while avoiding mentions of Trump • More reflective lately on long Senate career but poking fun at elder statesman status
