      Assuming you’re not American and are unfamiliar with our bicameral legislature: Mitch McConnell is a Republican senator from Kentucky who served as the Senate Majority Leader when Republicans held a majority in the Senate. Mike Johnson, on the other hand, is a Republican representative in the House of Representatives–the other half of Congress–who was elected to the position of Speaker by a majority of House Republicans. The Speaker is second in line to the Presidency and actually be held by anyone. However, at no time has Mitch McConnell been Speaker of the House.

      If you are American: Jesus Christ go back to civics class.

        Actually I am American I was just mistaken about the role Mitch McConnell played in the government I just know that he stepped down and this guy stepped back on, so I assumed this was Mitch McConnell’s successor. Obviously that was an error on my part
