Two longtime Democrat lawmakers will announce their retirement later Monday, according to Politico.
Reps. Mike Doyle (D-Pa.) and David Price (D-N.C.) will not seek reelection in another sign the Democrat party will likely lose the majority in 2022.
Politico reported:
Two longtime Democratic congressmen will announce their retirements on Monday, according to sources familiar with their plans, a sign of the party’s diminishing hopes of keeping the House majority after next year’s midterm elections.
Reps. Mike Doyle (D-Pa.) and David Price (D-N.C.) will not seek reelection, they will announce later Monday.
Doyle, 68, was first elected in 1994 and is a close ally of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. The 81-year-old Price, who won his seat in 1996, is a member of the powerful House Appropriations Committee.
Doyle plans to make an announcement at 1 p.m. Eastern Time, according to his office. Price is giving an interview at noon on a local, Raleigh, N.C., TV station.
All the left-leaning networks are admitting Joe Biden will get “shellacked” in his first midterm in 2022 based on historic trends.
The fact that two longtime Democrat lawmakers are announcing their retirement ahead of 2022 only reinforces this prediction.
