Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is stepping down as Senate Republican leader in November:

MCCONNELL: “It’s time for me to think about another season. I love the Senate. It’s been my life. There may be more distinguished members of this body throughout our history, but I doubt there were any with any more admiration for the Senate. After all this time, I still get a thrill walking into the Capitol and especially on this venerable floor, knowing that we, each of us, have the honor to represent our states and do the important work of our country. But father, time remains undefeated. I’m no longer the young man sitting in the back hoping colleagues would remember my name. It’s time for the next generation of leadership.”

Mitch McConnell acknowledges he’s out of step with the Republican Party as he announces he will leave the Senate:
