.MaddowBlog: What’s driving so many congressional Republicans into retirement?
In every election cycle, party leaders try to keep retirements to a minimum. Incumbents tend to be re-elected, so the more members head for the exits, the more party officials have to worry about potentially competitive contests.
The longtime lawmaker’s exit means the Badger State is losing its most senior member, and the second-most-senior Republican in the House. He is also the second Wisconsin Republican to announce he is leaving Congress after Rep. Sean P. Duffy said last month that he would be resigning on Sept. 23. But given that Election Day 2020 is still 425 days away, 12 retirement announcements from one party’s House conference is quite a few. In fact, it’s roughly in line with the retirement tally from this point two years ago – which set a high bar for recent cycles and was a rather brutal year for House Republicans, who ended up suffering the most number of losses than any midterm cycle since the immediate aftermath of Watergate.
