31 Republicans are not seeking re-election to Congress while 21 Democrars are doing likewise.

This makes it more difficult for Republicans to retain control of the House in particular.

Why are so many leaving? Because, thanks to DOGE and the digging being done by the FBI and Trump allies I suspect a lot of Republicans (and of course Democrats) no longer find "government service" attractive; the fringe benefits are drying up, the girls can't be had as easily without fear of exposure, the dirty back room deals are coming to light. Who wants to work in an environment where you actually have to do something and face stiff opposition? The gravy train is ending.

But of course this isn't a normal election and there is reason for optimism - and concern. We really don't know how this will play out. It depends on having good candidates and having enough money. Trump has disrupted the Democrat money machine in a fundamental way. He's also exposed the fraud machines the Democrats use, and exposed illegal alien voting. The dirty tricks employed by the Donks may not work this time.

It's going to be a wild ride; buckle up!
