Pat Leahy, D-Vt. left, celebrates a campaign victory with his wife, Marcelle, in Burlington in 2010, just before their 50th wedding anniversary.

Live call-in discussion: This week, the longest-serving sitting U.S. senator said he will not seek a 9th term. We welcome Vermont’s senior Sen. Patrick Leahy to the program to learn more about what went into his decision to “put the gavel down and come home." We also hear about his vision for the future of Vermont’s Congressional delegation, and speak with his wife, Marcelle Leahy.
