Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin, the No. 2 Senate Democrat and his party’s top leader on the Judiciary Committee, announced Wednesday that he won’t seek a sixth term in 2026.
“I know in my heart it’s time to pass the torch,” the veteran senator said in a social media post Wednesday.
Durbin, who is 80, confirmed what many Democrats have expected for months — that the veteran senator would step aside after three decades in office.
