More House Democrats Retiring From Competitive Seats Could Benefit GOP in 2024
-
More House Democrats than Republicans are retiring so far, which could benefit Republicans in 2024 races.
-
High profile Republican resignations like Kevin McCarthy and George Santos stand out, but many retiring Democrats held competitive seats.
-
Key Democrats leaving competitive districts include Katie Porter, Elissa Slotkin, Abigail Spanberger, and Dan Kildee.

Republican retirees tend to represent safe red districts that will likely stay in GOP control.

Redistricting in some states like North Carolina made several Democratic districts much more Republican-leaning.
