A Record Number of Republicans Are Leaving the House

“The number of Republicans leaving the House of Representatives after this term has reached a historic high, deepening concern in the conference over the chamber’s already razor-thin margins,” CNN reports.

“Thirty-five House Republicans are now retiring or running for higher office. That’s the most since at least 1930, according to data from the Brookings Institution, and surpasses the previous record from 2018, a midterm cycle when Republicans lost a whopping 41 House seats.”
