Mitch McConnell, the longest-serving Senate leader in history who maintained his power in the face of dramatic convulsions in the #RepublicanParty for almost two decades, will step down from that position in November.⁠
⁠
McConnell, who turned 82 last week, was set to announce his decision Wednesday in the well of the Senate, a place where he looked in awe from its back benches in 1985 when he arrived and where he grew increasingly comfortable in the front row seat afforded the party leaders.⁠
⁠
“One of life’s most underappreciated talents is to know when it’s time to move on to life’s next chapter,” he said in prepared remarks. “So I stand before you today ... to say that this will be my last term as Republican leader of the Senate.”⁠
