That is the highest number.
Since 1992.
Now, some are retiring outright.
A lot of them left after their seats were gerrymandered and it became clear that they were not going to win re-election.
And still others are running for Senate or governor, but that is a lot of churn.
And again, for those retiring, it's not just because they're old, a lot of them kind of seeing the writing on the wall coming.
And combined with the flipped seats and the primary challengers that we just talked about, we could be looking at get this 100 new faces in the House.
Of Representatives next year.
It would be a completely new chamber.
And then there's the Senate.
Two Republicans, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana and John Cornyn of Texas, both lost their primaries to challengers running to their right.
Eleven senators are also not seeking re-election, most of them Republicans, but the House is certainly where the turnover has been most dramatic.
And there are some clear political patterns developing.
Right, six of the nine losses from incumbents were Democrats, and most felt the challenges running uh far to their left.
Uh, most were again backed by the Democratic Socialists of America, as we've talked about on the show.
They also had endorsements from New York City Mayor Zoran Mamdani, or both.
Uh, in June, Mamdani backed candidates took out two establishment New York Congress members in a single night.
A week later, a young Democratic Socialist in Denver defeated a 15-term congresswoman who would held the
Seat since 1997.
And just last week in Detroit, another DSA endorsed candidate beat another incumbent who massively outspent him.
