I had no idea this many GOP members are retiring. (sigh)
Why a record number of Republicans are retiring ahead of the midtermsOn Friday, Republican Congressman Sam Graves of Missouri became the
36th Republican -- and 57th House member -- to announce plans not to seek re-election, saying it was time to "pass the torch" to a new generation.
In fact, more Republicans are retiring ahead of the midterms than at any point in nearly a century, according to an ABC News tally of retirement announcements and a review of historical data since 1930 compiled by the Brookings Institution.
That's a larger cohort than the 34 Republicans who did not run to keep their seats in 2018, when Republicans lost the majority in a 40-seat wave election to Democrats during the first Trump administration.........
