'''Addison Mitchell "Mitch" McConnell, Jr.''', born February 20, 1942 (age {{age|1942|2|20}}), is the senior [[Republican]] United States Senator from [[Kentucky]] and the current Senate [[Majority Leader]]. McConnell is a [[RINO]] who blocks [[pro-life]] legislation, who pushes for [[pro-choice]] nominees to the courts, and who rams through [[liberal]]-favored deals to increase the [[debt ceiling]].  In 2014, McConnell faced [[Tea Party]] challenger [[Matt Bevin]] in his primary for reelection, and held on only by heavily outspending his [[conservative]] rival.  McConnell then defeated Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes in the heavily Republican Kentucky in the general election.
