McConnell to Step Down , as Senate Republican Leader.

The Senate's longest-serving leader ever, Mitch McConnell, will step down in November, AP reports.

The 82-year-old made the announcement on Feb.

28.

One of life’s most underappreciated talents is to know when it’s time to move on to life’s next chapter, Mitch McConnell, via statement.

So I stand before you today ... to say that this will be my last term as Republican leader of the Senate, Mitch McConnell, via statement.

While McConnell will no longer serve as the Senate's Republican leader, he will complete his term, "albeit from a different seat in the chamber," he said.

That term ends in January 2027.

President Biden, 81, commented on the development.

I’ve trusted him and we have a great relationship.

We fight like hell.

But he has never, never, never misrepresented anything, President Joe Biden, via statement.

According to McConnell's aides, the announcement was not related to health issues.

As I have been thinking about when I would deliver some news to the Senate, I always imagined a moment when I had total clarity and peace about the sunset of my work, Mitch McConnell, via statement.

A moment when I am certain I have helped preserve the ideals I so strongly believe.

It arrived today, Mitch McConnell, via statement
