What's this?

You got me curious, so I went and looked at the "Rats" list.


In the Senate, it looks like we have 5 Dem and 2 GOP not running for re-election. The only noteworthy one there IMHO is Stabenow in MI, as flipping that one isn't totally out of the question, and I don't think it's one the GOP would otherwise be banking on. Other seats seem safe (and GOPer Braun is running for Gov), or were already good targets to flip (Manchin).

In the House, it's 22 Dems and 16 GOP not running for re-election. Worth noting 9 of those Dems are running for Senate (3 others, like Spanberger running for another office), but 3 of those are running for only 1 CA Senate seat.

Combine that with the 2 IN seats you mention probably being safely GOP seats, and I would hardly say this is a sign of "rats exiting a sinking boat" (on either side).
