Good afternoon Sietch family. In a move some would be shocked or not-so surprising, US Rep. Stephanie Murphy (D-FL) announced she's not seeking reelection in 2022.

In other words: Murphy sees the GOP wave coming fast & getting out of dodge!

Starting to make me wonder if this is all part of some devious plan or something.

Starting to make me wonder if this is all part of some devious plan or something.

some times your just plain fucked, this happens every time before a wave election, and the upcoming one looks to be particularly nasty for the dems, and I don't see nearly enough energy or passion to stop it.

 

[Captain X]

There's a bunch of them dropping out, though. I distrust the commies too much to not be suspicious.

What is the typical number of non-runners per cycle?
With c.300 DNC Reps and these being middle aged and older, there simply must be some level of churn. 22 reps is under 10%.

 

[Husky_Khan]

She's considered "moderate" IIRC so the moderate Reps bailing before an election because they reside in contestable districts isn't an unusual phenomenon. Happens with both parties anyhow.

One of the biggest stressors about running for office in a competitive district is how much ass you have to lick calling dozens of donors begging for handouts so your campaign will be funded while also meeting with a bajillion needy special interests ranging from individual constituents to lobbyists etc to further rally support. And repeating the process over and over again every two years.

Plus ya know, doing your actual job.

Big question is whether Murphy thinks she'll try to challenge United States Senator Richard Scott (R-FL) in 2024 ?

Just found out US Reps. Barbara Lawrence (D-MI 14th) & Bobby Rush (D-IL 01) NOT seeking 2022, increasing the number to 25 House Dems getting out of dodge.

BREAKING NEWS: US Rep. Ed Perlmutter (D-CO 07th) will NOT be seeking reelection in 2022.

Perlmutter is now the 26th House Dem to retire.

I'm wondering if we'll have a snowball effect on more Dems in the next 45 days.

They will lose the house through redistricting alone

Big question is whether we'll see African American House incumbents losing swing districts in November to GOPers ?

 

[The Whispering Monk]

Really depends on the district, and whether or not that incumbent is heavily connected to Biden and the problems.

imh, many of the dems who are on the fence will make their choice the day after the state of the union address.
