Longtime Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Md.) announced he will not run for a fourth Senate term in 2024.

“It’s time,” Cardin, 79, told The Baltimore Sun. “I always knew this election cycle would be the one I would be thinking about not running again, so it’s not something that hit me by surprise. I enjoy life. There are other things I can do.” TIME first reported the development on May 1.
