One of lifes most underappreciated talents is to know when its time to move on to lives next chapter. So i stand before you today, was a president , and my colleagues, to say this will be my last term as republican leader of the senate. For more on both mcconnell s stepping down and the spending deal, heres our north america correspondent, gary odonoghue.
