At least 41 Congress members won’t seek reelection in the 2022 midterms, 24 of them Democrats. That’s a reversal from the previous midterms in 2018, when 55 lawmakers retired, 37 of them Republicans.
Midterms usually see a slew of retirements, many only announced early in the election year. If that trend is to hold, there may be more announcements to come.
