Video: McConnell to Step Down as Republican Senate Leader

To serve Kentucky in the Senate has been the honor of my life. To lead my Republican colleagues, has been the highest privilege. But one of life’s most underappreciated talents is to know when it’s time to move on to life’s next chapter. So I stand before you today, Mr. President, and my colleagues, to say this will be my last term as Republican leader of the Senate. I’m not going anywhere any time soon. However, I’ll complete my job my colleagues have given me until we select a new leader in November, and they take the helm next January.
