Politico: House Dems not done limping for the exit

December 2, 2021

Politico reports Democrats close to Peter DeFazio say he retired because of House Democrats’ “unappetizing future in the minority.”

Even worse news for Democrats: DeFazio’s retirement “could be the first bell of a holiday rush” as Democrats come to grips with the fact that they are going to lose the majority.

19 House Democrats have already called it quits.

NRCC Comment: “Smart Democrats are retiring because the alternative is being unceremoniously fired in the midterms for causing a massive inflation crisis, a nationwide crime wave, and an unprecedented surge at the border.” – NRCC Spokesman Mike Berg
