SS Democrat Sinking Before our Very Eyes

Democrats are dropping out of Congress at an alarming rate in the months leading up to the 2022 midterm election.

The Floridian first reported that the latest victim to quit her job in the House of Representatives was Rep. Stephanie Murphy, who faced long odds at winning re-election after Republicans released a potential redistricting map that drew her out of Congress.

Speculation that Rep. Murphy would drop out was growing for months, as many politicos believed that she would do it once the redistricting maps were finalized.

Some of the Democrats that could run for congress to replace Murphy are State Reps. Carlos Guillermo Smith and Anna Eskamani, and former Lt. Gov. Chris King.

All three are considered very progressive. So, the trio could be dead on arrival.

At this rate, Republicans could wind up with a 30+ majority in the House on election night. READ MORE
