Mitch McConnell is the U.S. Senate Majority Leader. Elected to that position unanimously by his Republican colleagues first in 2014 and again in 2016 and 2018, he is only the second Kentuckian to ever serve as Majority Leader in the U.S. Senate. McConnell was first unanimously elected by his colleagues as the Republican Leader in 2006. He is the longest-serving Senate Republican Leader in the history of the United States.

Recently, Senator McConnell introduced and led to passage the bipartisan Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, also known as the CARES Act. The CARES Act was signed into law by President Donald Trump and became the biggest rescue package in history.
