A record number of Congress have opted to not seek reelection. So far it's 7 Senators and 30 members of the House of Reps. The vacated seats offer Repubs potential pickup opportunities in the House and Senate if they don't form a circular firing squad or otherwise self destruct.

Apart from Santos ;all the Repub House departees are from safe red districts. The number of swing seat Dems leaving should scare the Dems.

Included in the departure are many deep state swamp dwellers . But if the Repubs slate candidates that act like hooligan brawlers instead of statesmen they will again loose the chance of a red wave .
