Surge in House Democratic 2022 retirement announcements as 2021 comes to a close
Fox News
23 House Democrats have now announced that they'll retire after their current term or seek another office in the 2022 elections
The latest news brought to 23 the number of House Democrats who are retiring or bidding for another office rather than run for reelection in 2022, when their party tries to defend its razor-thin majority in the House amid historically unfavorable headwinds and a rough political climate. The GOP needs a net gain of just five seats in the 435-member chamber next year to regain the House majority it lost to the Democrats in the 2018 midterms.
