Nothing is more troubling for Democrats than knowing a huge number of their cult have announced their retirement.
This means House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is facing serious political headwinds heading into November’s midterm elections.
This year alone, 55 members of Congress are not running for re-election, which breaks down to 6 U.S. Senators and 49 House lawmakers. Of those 49 House lawmakers who will not run for re-election, 32 of them are Democrats, compared to just 23 GOP members.
Here’s what ‘Ballotpedia’ said in their report as highlighted by Conservative Brief:
“The 55 retiring members include 32 Democrats and 23 Republicans, accounting for 11.9% of the Democratic caucus and 8.8% of the Republican caucus. The 11.9% retirement rate among Democrats is the largest since 2014 when 8.5% of Democrats did not run for re-election.”
“The 8.8% retirement rate among Republicans is the second-lowest since 2014. The only year with a lower retirement rate was 2016 when 8.6% of Republicans retired. Democrats had their lowest retirement rates out of the past five cycles in 2018 and 2020, when 7.4% and 3.4%, respectively, of the caucus did not seek re-election.
Republicans had their highest retirement rates out of the past five cycles in those years, with 12.6% of the caucus retiring in 2018 and 11.5% in 2020,” the outlet added.
Our friends from WLT commented that “I don’t think we will see a red wave in 2022—it’s going to be more like a monsoon…”
Well, President Trump just gives a truth bomb of why Democrats are leaving their offices:
So because 32 #Democrats are retiring they wanna mess our country up as much as possible before leaving? Are you gonna cry about the money you never got after making millions as a career politician for decades? Cry me a f*cking river #DemocratsAreTheProblem
