House Republicans worry about wave of retirements in
'exhausting and often embarrassing' Trump era
Six House Republicans so far—three last week—have announced their retirements since Democrats took the House last November, and
it’s unlikely that’s the end of it.
It’s not just that it’s no fun being in the minority—
Republicans know that winning back the House in 2020 is a very long shot.
Plenty of Republicans had their biggest challenges of recent years in 2018, too, meaning that they’d likely face another tough race in 2020.
That’s a lot of work to stay in the not-fun life of the minority.
unnamed House Republican told The Hill that
“Serving in the era of Trump has few rewards.
He has made an already hostile political environment worse.
Every day there is some indefensible tweet or comment to defend or explain.
It is exhausting and often embarrassing.”
