The Republican ship is SINKING
According to a recent tally, a total of 45 members of Congress β 8 senators and 37 House members β have already announced they will not run for re-election in 2026.
Among those, Republicans account for a significant share: 4 GOP senators and 22β23 GOP House representatives.

The high number of GOP retirements reflects internal turmoil and uncertainty within the party, perhaps a lack of confidence in their prospects heading into the 2026 cycle.
