Mitch McConnell will not seek re-election in 2026.
We found out today that the 83-year-old Senator will not aim to serve the State of Kentucky an eighth time...so who's next?
BetOnline.ag is the first bookmaker to offer odds on McConnell's replacement, and there are only four names on the board.
The odds are tight, but Daniel Cameron is the favorite, followed by Andy Barr, Andy Beshear and Nate Morris.
“Seven times, my fellow Kentuckians have sent me to the Senate,” McConnell said, as aides lined the back chamber and senators listened from seats. “Every day in between I’ve been humbled by the trust they’ve placed in me to do their business right here. Representing our commonwealth has been the honor of a lifetime. I will not seek this honor an eighth time. My current term in the Senate will be my last.”
The favorite to replace him is Daniel Cameron, the Kentucky Attorney General.
“I’m going to be an ‘America First’ senator and it’s time for a new generation of leadership,” Cameron told the AP in a phone interview Thursday evening.
Senatorial race odds are subject to change and will be updated in real-time.
Next Kentucky Senator
Daniel Cameron +175
Andy Barr +275
Andy Beshear +275
Nate Morris +300
