Fair, but I would point out that those figures are in complete retrospect of the 2018 and 2020 elections. Given that we are about 10 months from the election, how much room for growth is there in the total number of retiring house members for the 2022 election? Are we likely to see that number climb higher as campaigns solidify?
How many representatives usually retire in any given year?
I remember quite a few in 2018
26 also stepped down in 2016. It looks like this is actually the average. The most ever was 62 so 26 really is nothing crazy.
What cycle was that?
