Kentucky Democrat Rep. John Yarmuth to retire from Congress in 2023

After more than 15 years in Congress, Rep. John Yarmuth, D-Ky., announced Tuesday that he will retire at the end of his term in 2023.

"At the time, I simply wanted to stop the Bush agenda by helping flip control of the House of Representatives to Democrats," Yarmuth said in the video about his coming to Congress in 2006.

Yarmuth's announcement comes as Democrats struggle to hold on to their slim majority in the House and as several other party members have also recently announced plans to retire.
