Embattled U.S. Sen. Jim Bunning has announced that he will not seek re-election to a third term in 2010.
His decision ends months of speculation that he would drop out of the Senate race because of his inability to raise money, poor poll numbers and lack of support from top Republican officials.
Despite accepting contributions to his campaign since 2005, Bunning had less than $600,000 in the bank at the end of the second quarter, which ended in June.
Bunning has said that U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell told him in December that he was too old to be re-elected.
