A top House Democrat is stepping down from a key committee post and not running for reelection months after beating out socialist Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) for his current position.

Representative Gerry Connolly (D., Va.), 75, announced Monday he is stepping down as ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, a high-profile congressional panel, and ending his decades-long political career.
