House Dems see the writing on the wall

This morning vulnerable Democrat Ann Kirkpatrick chose to retire rather than lose her race for re-election in 2022.  

Who will be the next Democrat to decide they’d rather leave than lose or spend next cycle in the minority?

Here are some likely possibilities:

• New York Rep. Tom Suozzi is talking to people about how he can benefit politically from the horrific sexual misconduct allegations against Andrew Cuomo.
• Florida Rep. Stephanie Murphy has all but announced she is running for Senate.
• Wisconsin Rep. Ron Kind is considering a run for Senate.
• Iowa Rep. Cindy Axne is eyeing a run for governor.
• Ohio Rep. Tim Ryan is running for Senate.
• Florida Rep. Charlie Crist is eyeing another run for governor.
• AOC won’t rule out primarying Sen. Chuck Schumer.
• And House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff is lobbying California Gov. Gavin Newsom to appoint him California’s next attorney general

NRCC Comment: “Ann Kirkpatrick is the first, but won’t be the last vulnerable Democrat to retire this cycle rather than defend an increasingly unpopular socialist agenda.” – NRCC Spokesman Mike Berg
