Rangel runnning for re-election.
U.S. Rep. Charles Rangel, a senior black Democrat in Congress, said Wednesday that he would consider retiring from the House of Representatives if the Democrats don't retake control of the House after the midterm congressional and Senate elections in November.
"If the American people support the Bush gang and reject what is sane, moral and just, then I would consider some educational opportunities where I could still fight for my principles without being on the losing side of the U.S. Congress," Rangel told BlackAmericaWeb.com.
