[VIDEO IN EXTENDED ARTICLE]
Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid announced Friday he will retire from the Senate at the end of his term.
The longtime Nevada Democrat announced the decision in a YouTube video message.
Appearing with bruises on his face from a recent at-home exercising accident, Reid said the injury has caused him and his family to have a “little down-time,” giving him time to think.
“We’ve got to be more concerned about the country, the Senate, the state of Nevada than us. And as a result of that, I’m not going to run for reelection,” the senator said in the video.
Reid, ribbing his Republican counterpart, added: “My friend, Senator McConnell, don’t be too elated. I’m going to be here for twenty-two months.”

Goodbye and good riddance and don’t let the door hit you on the way out. For that matter don’t let anybody hit you at all like the time someone walloped you a few months ago. That’s right. We don’t believe for a second that you hurt yourself exercising.
