Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) will be ending his time as the leader of the Republican conference later this year.

On Wednesday, McConnell, 82, said, “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 … to say that this will be my last term as Republican leader of the Senate,” he added.

McConnell noted he plans to serve out the remainder of his term, which ends in 2027, but “from a different seat in the chamber.”

He plans to step down in November.

His decision comes after he declined to endorse former President Donald Trump for his party’s presidential nomination.

Additionally, it comes after multiple health scares caused by incidents where he publicly froze up.

He will end his time as the longest serving Senate leader in history.
