Reps. Jim Langevin of Rhode Island and Jerry McNerney of California mark the 27th and 28th House Democrats not running for reelection in 2022 as analysts expect a favorable year for Republicans. Both members announced their retirements on Tuesday. “I will keep working for the people of my district throughout the remainder of my term and look forward to new opportunities to continue to serve,” McNerney, 70, said in a tweet. McNerney has represented California in Congress since 2007, in the 9th District since 2013 and in the old 11th District before that. Langevin, 57, wrote a Providence Journal op-ed

These two evil traitors deserve to burn in Hell for their crimes against our Country and Humanity. Good riddance and eternal shame on the people who voted for these pond scum over and over again.

Pubbies need to shift into double overdrive to figure out how to avoid taking back the House. I'm sure Cheney and Romney will aid the cause.

I predicted that there would be a lot of rats deserting this sinking ship, and it seems correct. Could be over 30, looks like. And then how many will lose?
I think we only need to flip six or seven seats to take control, so even if only 1/3 of these change hands, it's enough.
Likely to be a LOT more than just enough.

Being from RI, with relatives still there, Langevin is and always will be a partisan hack POS.

I had predicted 32 so I'm on track to surpass that #.

McNerney (Cal 9th) is a Cooks PVI of D+8. That's impossible to flip. But Langevin (RI 2nd) is D+4. In the current environment, that's possible to flip. Of the 435 currently in congress, only 3 upset more than PVU of +4. Golden-D (Maine 2nd) won over an R+6 district. There are only two +5 upsets. GOP won a D+5 in Cal, and the Dems won an R+5 in Pa. It's about the numbers...

Not impossible to flip, #8, if it were a R+8 district. I wouldn't consider R+20 safe with the widespread election fraud, ballot box stuffing, harvesting, and running of ballots over and over through counting machines.
But, +8 is probably more than safe for a commie.

Believe Virginia was +10, and perceived to be an easy win.
I sense they're noticing the higher level of scrutiny on voter registration rolls, voting machines, and how large of a shift in party identification has swayed over to Republicans.
Plus, they're seeing the level of distrust Hispanics have for the democrat party which means they can't count on them to vote for democrat candidates.
GOP needs to ensure they have a Republican candidate on every ballot in every House district. Hopefully, running an active campaign too.
Will be fun to watch Maxine Waters in the House minority again, and maybe an investigation or two too.

Problem is, most of these Dems. are leaving re-drawn even-more-safe districts that probably will elect an even farther-to-the-left buffoon than the one leaving. But with good candidates and vigilant voters, a few of them can be flipped.
Let's just hope Republican states wise up and use redistricting like Democrats use to protect and expand their count (ie - California, Illinois, New York and others).

Is there enough money in the Congressional pension fund?
