Senator McConnell says following Cooper to Senate felt more distant than the moon in retirement announcement

Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell says in a floor to announce his intent to retire from Congress that while growing up reading about greatness, the prospect of etching his name into the Senate chamber desk felt more unlikely than making it to the Major Leagues, even after witnessing Senator John Sherman Cooper of Kentucky's greatness as a summer intern, as following in his footsteps seemed more distant than the moon. McConnell had stepped down as longest-ever leader in Senate history months earlier.
