"House Members' Discontent: Threatening the GOP Majority"

A growing number of House members are resigning or announcing plans to leave Congress, with 48 representatives departing voluntarily so far in the 118th Congress. This trend reflects a broader pattern of increased departures in recent years, particularly among those with less than 10 years of service. The exodus is attributed to various factors, including dysfunction, redistricting, and frustration with congressional infighting. The brain drain poses a challenge for Congress, as it diminishes institutional memory and leadership potential, potentially jeopardizing its future functionality.
