After House Republican Debbie Lesko abruptly announced her retirement during the Speaker battle, Palmer Report predicted there would be a string of similar retirements. Sure enough, House Republicans Ken Buck and Kay Granger have now announced their retirements as well. It’s a sinking House GOP ship and they all want out.

What’s interesting is that three House districts are all far right, so it’s not like any of them had to worry about losing reelection in 2024. Maybe they were worried about having to deal with a primary challenge from a far right lunatic. Then again, these three pretty are pretty much far right lunatics to begin with.

The thing to watch for will be whether any House Republicans in competitive districts end up retiring as well. House races tend to have something of an incumbency advantage, so a Republican retirement in such a district would make it potentially easier for the Democrats to flip that seat.

In any case, it’s fair to say that with three House Republicans having announced their retirements within the span of about a week, it’s officially a trend. We’ll see how many of them decide to head for the exits. Stay tuned.

It's been a tough week, a tough month, a tough year. For all of us. But the fight goes on. Because we know how important this is. Because we care. Because we're the ones who fight. It's you and me. It has been for a decade. And I'm never backing down. But Palmer Report does have operating expenses. And in this uncertain time, I truly need your help. For that reason I've launched the Palmer Report 2025 Operating Expenses Fund. If we can fully fund this, it'll bridge the gap and ensure that Palmer Report can keep fighting now and forever. I'm asking you to contribute what you can to our GoFundMe Page or our PayPal Page, both of which accept debit and credit cards. Thank you.
