Mitch McConnell to step down as Republican Senate leader

Raw Story  

Mitch McConnell will step down as the Senate Republican leader in November after nearly two decades in that role. The Kentucky Republican, who turned 82 years old last week, plans to announce his decision Wednesday from the well of the Senate, where he has served since 1985, reported the Associated Press. “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 obtained by the news organization. to say that this will be my last term as Republican leader of the Senate.” McConnell spent almost six weeks away from the Senate last spring after a fall that injured his head, and he twice froze up in the months afterward while speaking to reporters, although he said his decision was unrelated to his health.
