Republican Indiana Rep. Larry Bucshon announced Monday that he will be retiring from Congress, one of many Republican lawmakers planning to leave Congress in 2024.
Bucshon, a 14-year congressman, decided over the holiday season that he will not seek reelection to his seat in the 2024 congressional elections, according to a statement posted by the legislator on Monday. Bucshon is one among many Republican lawmakers who have either resigned from their roles early or have decided not to seek reelection to their seats in 2024.
“It became clear to me over the Christmas holiday with much discernment and prayer that the time has come to bring my season in public service to a conclusion,” Bucshon said in a statement Monday. “Therefore, I will not seek reelection to an eighth term and conclude my service in the House of Representatives at the end of the 118 Congress.”
Buschon recalled his 14 years of service in Congress and issued statements of thanks to those who supported his political career. Bucshon also said that “recent disputes in Congress and difficulties advancing policy on behalf of the American people” had not undermined his confidence in democracy.
Bucshon is one of several Republican lawmakers in both the House and Senate to announce his retirement from Congress going into 2024. Colorado Rep. Doug Lamborn announced his

He was one of the 45 Republicans who signed the "ashamed" letter about McCarthy's ouster.
So good riddance!
Door, ass, etc...
.
It was important to Republicans to oust Santos.
As always, they don’t want Biden impeached.
Drag their feet for over 3 years, and then they’ll say we don’t have the Votes.
It makes one wonder if all the GOP retirements have something to do with the Epstein disclosures this month. Blackmail?

Shazam!!!! Golly....ya don’t say??
Who’d a thunk it?!!! /s
These rotten Republicans did this to Trump before so he would not have majorities in Congress. We need MAGA to step in and take these slots or the GOPe will step into sabotage as usual.
These assholes must see the fist of doom approaching.
The DS smell is deep in this one........
The DS tentacles reach out to ensure that a Trump victory will not sweep the house and senate. Going to take an immense ground game for MAGA candidates win primaries and win/keep Republican seats n both houses.
Let the games begin!
WWG1WGA!
This should just about do it for the GOP holding the house. It’s not going to be pretty.
One really has to wonder about that. Politicians and CEOs are crapping bricks. I’m pretty sure there’s a whole lotta blackmail going on.
Rino Rats joining the Rat Rats.
Not that there’s much difference- they piss it away when they do have the majority
Epstein blackmail for sure…. When StephenHawking was seen at Epstein Island we know how accommodating Epstein could be…. If it was “prayer” that convinced congress critter not to run, There must have been plenty of other reasons from those not so religiously inclined. We havent heard about females of the lesbian persuasion who went ther as well
Why? Because Bucshon is likely to be replaced by a Democrat?
Hardly.
Because ANY of these recent retirees aside from Santos (who didn’t actually retire) are likely to be replaced by a Democrat?
Also incorrect.
When the GOP loses the House, these retirements won’t be even 10% of the reason why.
I wonder how many legislators would be left if the crooked ones quit? Not very many, would be my guess. Father, in the Name of Jesus, expose them all, I pray. Amen.
Anyone - including Donald Trump - who wants to change things has to get patriots elected to the House.
Right now 2024 looks like D+25 to me and could go higher. The GOP is begging to be put out of its misery, and I’m sure the voters will oblige.
Amen
“Right now 2024 looks like D+25 to me and could go higher.”
I don’t see that. There are far more Democrats retiring. There’s about 40 people retiring and less than half of those are Republicans.
I think it’ll be another close draw either way.
D+25 means the GOP loses damn near all of their most marginal seats and the Rats lose damn near none. That doesn’t seem very likely as things stand right now.
And once again, retirements like this one change absolutely nothing.
When Republicans in MARGINAL districts start bailing in droves like in 2018, then we’ll have something to pearl-clutch about. That or a bunch of new Democrat gerrymanders...
His district is decidedly ‘red’ for what its worth. So, we’ll get another GOP there, question of quality though....
