Senator Bob Corker, R-Tennessee announced he’s retiring when his term expires in 2018.
“After much thought, consideration and family discussion over the past year, Elizabeth and I have decided that I will leave the United States Senate when my term expires at the end of 2018,” he said in a statement Tuesday afternoon.
He said when he was elected in 2006, he had told people he couldn’t imagine serving for more than two terms.
Corker is still taking an active role on behalf of his colleagues and their election prospects. He met with President Trump earlier this month and reportedly asked the president to appear at a rally on behalf of Alabama incumbent Sen. Luther Strange, who was appointed to take the seat of Jeff Sessions, after Sessions was named attorney general.
