As an Illinois voter, I couldn’t be prouder that our senator for the last 28 years has been one of the finest in the country. Dick Durbin has always fought the good fight on behalf of working families, and his integrity shines through in everything he does. 

It’s also true that I would not have been a United States Senator – and certainly would not have been President – had it not been for Dick’s support. He has been a great and loyal friend, and Michelle and I wish him and Loretta all the best in their next chapter.

The decision of whether to run for re-election has not been easy. I truly love the job of being a United States Senator.

But in my heart, I know it’s time to pass the torch.

So, I am announcing today that I will not be seeking re-election at the end of my term.

We have lost the messenger, but we must hold fast to the message of Pope Francis to love and respect one another. In a world of hate and fear, Pope Francis’ message of peace and understanding is needed now more than ever.

Watching the Wrigley Field Winter Classic, and reflecting on the time @mrocketrichards and I went to the 2014 NHL Winter Classic at Soldier Field. It was so cold we spent the last period in the lounge.

@anthonydeangelo You're a fairly intentional guy, so I'm going to assume you had the photo framed to look like that Christmas elf is swearing you in.
