00:00 Concerned, Hawley thinks Mitch McConnell is a massive liability.
00:04 Senator Josh Hawley is "concerned" about the future of the Republican Party.
00:10 Late Thursday, he told Fox News host Laura Ingraham that Senator Mitch McConnell could
00:15 severely damage Republicans' chances in the 2024 election.
00:20 He also took a swipe at the Senate minority leader, saying, "I'll be honest with you.
00:25 I didn't vote for Mitch McConnell for leader.
00:28 He is not my choice to be leader, and so I think we need a change."
00:33 Earlier, Hawley stated that McConnell should resign following his public freezing moment,
00:38 explaining, "If you're concerned about [Joe] Biden's ability to do his job, then you've
00:43 got to be concerned when it's somebody of your own party."
00:47 McConnell has dismissed demands for his retirement.
00:50 This week, he announced that he intends to finish his Senate term, which runs through
00:55 January 2027.
00:58 Recent health incidents involving McConnell and Senator Dianne Feinstein have led to calls
01:03 for establishing age limits in Congress.
