BREAKING: I'm told by multiple NC/Capitol Hill sources that @GKButterfield will announce his retirement from Congress and he has informed @SpeakerPelosi.
Butterfield's office won't confirm or deny but says "the official announcement will be made later today or tomorrow." #ncpol

Who is this Rep. Butterball?
Head for the lifeboats.
His district has been rapidly trending to the right. I think he knows that he couldn’t hold it in 2022, so he bailed.
This should be a GOP pickup, particularly in an open seat.
Yep, NC01 will be a flip.
“Who is this Rep. Butterball?”
A big ole turkey?
a Rat fleeing a sinking ship
“Another one bites the dust.”
How many Rats is that now?
Never heard of the turkey.
Butterball? He’s done, baste andserve on a platter. Just in time for Thanksgiving.
Yep. In 2020 he had a narrow win on the old lines which were D+7. After redistricting, his district is D+1.
Xgiving Dinner.
Look. It’s a real guy!
I was thinking butterball, as in turkey.
10 D retirements from public office. Other Ds leaving House to run for Senate.
Ds: Butterball, Jackie Speier, Michael Doyle, David Price, John Yarmuth, Ron Kind, Cheri Bustos, Filemon Vela, Ann Kirkpatrick, Eddie Bernice Johnson.
4 R retirements from public office.
“Never heard of the turkey.”
A Black man who looks White.
Let me just say that the number of RINOs and Never Trump turds who resigned in 2018 and 2020 will not be matched by the RAT Squad.
Bets?
Even in his old district, he’ll probably lose anyway because 2022 is looking like a “wave” year similar to 2010 and 1994. GOP should be able to capture at least +50 in the House. More Hispanics will vote Republican. Blacks won’t show up. Soccer moms will vote red because they’ve not happy with their school boards (See Virginia).
