Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois announced on Wednesday he will not be seeking reelection next year. Durbin, who is 80, has spent more than half of his life serving first in the House and then the Senate, where he was elevated to Democratic Whip, party leadership’s second-highest role. “I truly love the job of being a United States senator, but in my heart, I know it’s time to pass the torch,” Durbin said in a video message.
