Congress Faces Shrinking Majority and Dysfunction as Members Retire Ahead of 2024 Fight

Over three dozen members of Congress have announced their plans to leave their seats, setting the stage for significant turnover in the 2024 election. While most of the departures are not expected to impact the balance of power in Congress, a few crucial seats are up for grabs. Many departing members express frustration with the polarization and paralysis that has plagued the institution, particularly this year. Some notable departures include Senator Mitt Romney, Representative Debbie Lesko, and Representative Adam Schiff, who are seeking other offices.
