A record number of lawmakers, including 13 senators and 31 House members, are leaving Congress, with many not seeking re-election next year. The retirements are attributed to a surge in partisan censures, government shutdown threats, and ongoing dysfunction in Capitol Hill. The exodus is seen as a perfect storm of recent chaos and longstanding frustrations, leading to a major turnover in the 2024 election and potentially impacting the House majority for Democrats.
