.SpeakerPelosi says Republicans are retiring because they know they'll be a minority with 'most likely' a Democrat in the White House
An increased number of Republicans are retiring from Congress in 2019 and Rep. Nancy Pelosi suggested it's because they know they will be serving as a minority in 2020 after Democrats win back Congress and"most likely" the White House.
Last week, Representative Bill Flores from Texas and Representative Jim Sensenbrenner from Wisconsin were the latest Republicans to say they will be stepping aside before the 2020 election. A spokesman for the National Republican Congressional Committee said that their announcements did not jeopardize the party's standing because the two represent largely conservative districts.
Right now, House Republicans are on track to outpace their retirements during the 2018 election cycle, when 34 lawmakers did not run for re-election. It was the GOP's highest number of retirements in one election cycle since 1930. In order to run for office and appear on the ballot in California, candidates need to file their paperwork with the Federal Election Commission by December. Pelosi told Scully that she intends to file her paperwork by the deadline, indicating that she plans to run again.
