Second Highest Number Of Republican Congressional Retirements Since 1930, Only Surpassed In 2018!

The Republican Party in the US House of Representatives is in crisis mode, as they are on the way to what is likely to be massive losses in the Midterm Congressional Elections of 2026.

THe fact that 2026 is witnessing the second highest number of Republican members of the House of Representatives choosing NOT to run for reelection, only surpassed in the past hundred years in 2018, which saw a loss of 40 House seats, is a sign of the dire straits the party faces under the unpopular policies of Donald Trump.

44 Republicans chose not to run in 2018, and now in 2026, 39 have decided not to run for reelection, or run for a Senate seat or Governorship instead.
