It happens. Since March 5, we’ve lost 3 Dems in the House: Turner, Grijalva, and Connolly. MAGA Abbott delayed scheduling a special election in Texas’s CD-18, a Democratic district, until November 4 to help Johnson retain his slim majority.

That’s correct. The average age of representatives is 57.9 years, while the average age of senators is 63.9 years. Once elected, they tend not to retire. An incumbent is hard to beat.
