Mitch McConnell’s February 2025 Senate floor announcement that his current term would be his last, coupled with his explicit statements that he intends to serve until January 2027, remains the dominant factor anchoring trader expectations. Kentucky Republicans have already advanced an open-seat primary for the 2026 election to replace him, reinforcing the assumption of an orderly transition at term’s end rather than an earlier vacancy. A brief June 2026 hospitalization drew limited market reaction, as the senator’s spokesperson reported only that he was receiving “excellent care” with no accompanying statements or procedural moves suggesting imminent resignation. Historical patterns of incumbents completing final terms after similar retirement declarations, absent acute health or political crises, have sustained the 75-cent-plus pricing on the “no” outcome through mid-2026.
