Let me guess none of the old fools from either party are retiring
“All members of Congress are up for reelection in November,….”
————-
No, all members of the House of Representatives are up for election in November. Only 1/3 of the Senate is, just like every other election since 1790. I can’t express how annoying it is to me how the House of Representatives is conflated with “Congress“ on a continual basis. It shows the utter ignorance of whomever it is that it’s writing the article and their editors.
Retirement will do the Demonicrat representatives no good. There is no statute of limitations on their past acts of treason.
I've been pointing out for months that all of the simpering pearl-clutchers who believe "Oh noes, itz 2018 uhgenn!!!" because of all the Republican retirements couldn't be further off the mark.
Because they don't have a clue as to who (i.e., which party) the likely replacements are for all of the retirees. In damn near every case aside from the inevitable loss in NY-3, the GOP is either favored or STRONGLY favored to hold the districts of the departing representatives. But it's easier to reflexively panic than it is to calmly look at the facts.
Furthermore there are numerous pickup opportunities among the districts which Democrats are abandoning, and not just the slam-dunks in North Carolina either.
Despite all that, OF COURSE the GOP may still lose the House in November. But if they do, it will be due to losses they suffer in districts where the Republican incumbent IS running; not because of districts where they aren't.
Pearl-clutchers, read this and relax:
The right ones are not retiring...Pelosi, Nadler, Hoyer, etc...
"Democrats' Retirement Problem Is Worse Than Republicans'"
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Republicans will hopefully win the House. The problem is that Democrats are undoubtedly planning to blame their unconstitutional, unaccountable Biden era spending and debt on the Republicans in front of 2026 midterm elections.
On the other hand, I think hopeful Trump 47, supported by the new Congress that Democratic and Republican patriots give him, will finish draining the swamp.
Some interesting notes on races in NH where Annie Kuster is retiring.
The Green Pages listed her replacement suitors as:

Democratic Member of Congress Ann McLane “Annie” Kuster - apparently not a candidate
• 27 March 2024: “... I will not be seeking re-election in 2024 ....” • FEC H0NH02181; 31 Dec 23; Tot $1,550,266; Dsb $684,666
Candidate list (7) - 119th Congress
Democratic former Executive Councilor Kevin Colin “Colin” Van Ostern • FEC H4NH02332
Colin Van Ostern is running for Congress in New Hampshire’s 2nd District because the only way to fix what’s broken in our country today is to make it work for everyday people and middle class families again. Instead of letting fringe extremists or powerful interests rig the system for themselves, we need to put people first. That starts with protecting reproductive rights – from IVF and birth control to abortion access – no matter your zip code and cutting household costs like housing, higher ed, healthcare and childcare.

Republican Robin Ng • FEC H4NH02316
LinkedIn page: Customer Service Manager at Upper Valley Ride to the Airport (cannot find any other information on him/her — found several pictures of Robin Ngs, all were men in foreign countries and obviously not the candidate)
Republican Jason Daniel Riddle • FEC H2NH02252
He’s tan, rested, and ready after serving jail time for his role in the Jan. 6 riots. Now Granite Stater Jason Riddle is planning another run for Congress.
Riddle, a Cheshire County Republican, plans to challenge Second Congressional District Rep. Annie Kuster (D-Hopkinton) in 2024. He tried to run in 2022 but couldn’t get his campaign off the ground. He blames a lack of support from the New Hampshire Secretary of State’s Office and Republicans for his failure to launch — not to mention the fact that he was behind bars.
. . .
Now that he is a free man again, Riddle is gearing up for another run. Though he is currently not allowed to leave New Hampshire as part of his probation — including travel to Washington, D.C. — he is sure he will be able to serve if elected.
