Three Democrats Announce Retirement Within 24 Hours
More leaving the field? What a lovely idea.
[Breitbart] Three vulnerable Democrats announced they would not be seeking reelection to the House of Representatives within 24 hours of each other, bringing the total of House Democrats not seeking reelection to 23.

Rep. Albio Sires (D-NJ), Rep. Stephanie Murphy (D-FL), and Chairwoman of the House Appropriations subcommittee overseeing immigration issues, Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-CA), announced they would not run for reelection within 24 hours of each other.

The three announcements from the House Democrats come as other older or more vulnerable Democrats have also announced they would leave their current seats, with more still rumored to come. The three announcements make 23 total Democrats: 15 have announced actual retirement from the public eye — including three committee chairs — while eight more Democrats announced they would run for a different office, either in a local or state election.

Breitbart News has extensively reported on Pelosi’s majority crumbling and the Democrats’ struggles to keep members in the House and find new candidates to run for office. There have also been rumors of more Democrats abandoning ship in the coming weeks and months leading up to the midterms, as more redistricting maps are accepted and deadlines to file for reelection are getting closer.

#7 Doubt Roybal-Allard's seat is in jeopardy. Sires' could be, but it'll be a long shot. Murphy's is certainly a possible flip (back.)

#8 Interesting that two are from blue states.

#9 CA and NJ redrew / are redrawing congressional districts (we know Adam Kinziger's worthless ass is gone because of it), so keep an eye on the other redistricted states for 'retirements' (AZ, CO, ID, WA, MI and HI).

Funny how this happened within a day+ of Manchin's NO on BBB vote. Well, I think it's funny (as shit)...

#10 Remember - when they retire they get to make their reelection funds personal income. Even if you are in a safe district, but believe a tsunami of seats are going the other direction, why suffer through two more years or get out now. Far fewer GOPe and more Trumpist to be around. See - revenge is a dish best served up cold.

#11 Some of them are stupidly old and stupidly rich. What has to stop is people who serve one term or less getting lifetime bennies.

#12 What has to stop is elected office being an avenue for enrichment.

#13 ^ Simply done. Hard term limits and asset freezes while in office. Anyone who isn't anxious to return to their lucrative private pursuits is "suspect," as Franklin said.
