Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) vowed Wednesday to keep his job as Senate Republican leader at least through 2024 and to finish his seventh Senate term, which runs through 2026, despite recent health problems.

“I have no announcements to make on that subject,” McConnell, who is 81, told reporters when asked about calls from fellow conservatives to step down as Senate Republican leader.

“I’m going to finish my term as leader and I’m going to finish my Senate term,” McConnell declared.

Weekend at Bernie's...another remake no one asked for.

The irony being I haven't seen Bernie making weird pauses in public

"Weekend at Bernie's" was an 80's movie about a businessman that is murdered by the mob, but two of his employees stumble upon the body and, believing they accidentally killed him, have to puppet his corpse to try to convince people he's still alive until they can escape. It's a comedy, despite how dark it sounds.

Different Bernie. This is a movie reference.
