Rep. Jim Clyburn, 85, has announced he will seek an 18th term in Congress despite many of his colleagues around his age calling it quits.
The powerful House Democrat shared that he would run again at an event on Thursday in Columbia, South Carolina.
Clyburn has represented the state’s 6th congressional district since 1993, before rising through the ranks to serve as the number three Democrat in the House behind former Speaker Nancy Pelosi and former Majority Leader Steny Hoyer.
