So it's different.
On the Republican side, the people who have already announced that they're retiring, you have Troy Nails, who has been here for, he was elected in 2020, so five years.
You have Morgan Luttrell of Texas.
He just started serving in 2023.
He's young.
A lot of members who are younger, who haven't been here that long, are deciding to call it quits.
And that is really what's different.
This term, Donald Trump has so much control over this Congress.
They govern in fear.
They do what he says because they're afraid of, you know, Marjorie Taylor Greene said this on 60 Minutes.
I think they're terrified to step out of line and get a nasty truth social post on them.
threats of political violence have only increased.
And everyone knows that if your name is in a true social and negatively, there will be an uptick for that person.
And so that is just something that these members have been dealing with
for a long time.
And that has led to retirements in the past.
And so the ability to be an independent member of Congress is really, really diminished.
And people are feeling that they are frustrated with Speaker Johnson.
Mm-hmm.
It's also one of the least productive Congresses in modern history.
