Rep. Fred Upton (R-MI) on Tuesday announced his exit from Congress, notching up a 40-percent exit rate among House Republicans who voted to impeach Donald Trump.
Just before announcing his retirement, Upton noted in a campaign email on Tuesday “very positive” poll numbers in his primary race against Trump-endorsed Rep. Bill Huizenga (R-MI). Both Huizenga and Upton were running for the same seat due to state redistricting.
“My district was cut like Zorro — three different ways,” Upton told reporters. “So I’ve been here 36 years. When I first ran, I thought I’d be here 10.” Upton was first elected in 1986.
“I got a lot of unfinished business that I’m going to be working on now. … But no, this was our decision, independent of what I did with Trump,” Upton said, acknowledging his failed vote to impeach Trump....

"Upton joins three other pro-impeachment Republicans to forgo running for reelection. Those include Reps. John Katko (R-NY), Anthony Gonzalez (R-OH), and Adam Kinzinger (R-IL). Additional pro-impeachment Republicans may also not make it to the November midterms. Reps. Tom Rice (R-SC) and Liz Cheney (R-WY) are facing tough reelection campaigns. Donald Trump called Rice “a disaster” in March and said he is “laughed at in Washington."

Not enough.
40%?
Should be 100%.
We must get all RINOs out of office including the idiot senators from maine, alaska and utah.
Why do I believe that they are being rewarded with opportunities for impeaching Trump?
Lobbying a Trump administration will be pissing in the wind.
GOOD START!!!
A good start but we need to get that up to 100%
IBW,B
And they are taking millions of dollars in unused campaign funds with them.
They are laughing all the way to the bank.
We need to put a stop to that.
The fewer there are the more the remaining can be concentrated on.
Cheney is the one I’m watching. She’s got a bunch of Hollywood money backing her. I’m guessing her old man and his cronies will drag her across the finish line.
Sadly, they are going to stick us with a huge liberal POS on the USSC before we can get rid of them. Maybe we will get lucky and she will be as big a disappointment to the left as Kavanaugh, Riberts and Barrett are to us
Goodbye. You will not be missed. Now for the rest.
These RINOscum should leave the country and never return.
Normally, I wouldn’t think she has a chance, but after what happened in November 2020, all bets are off.
Why do you think they are leaving. They see the handwriting on the wall. The dems are hanging as long as they can maybe because they have the house and senate perhaps. Maybe the republicans/rinos see what’s coming and if or when Trump gets back in he will come for them. Or they stole all the money they can and are leaving before they are booted.
It's a process...give it time.
You can bet Soros money changed hands Pelosi was the ATM!
Rino hunters nearing stamped ensues.
