Mark Meadows is now the 21st Republican to retire from the House.
But considering how influential Meadows has been since he won his House seat in 2012, his exit is definitely the most notable of the December retirements . It’s worth mentioning, though, that Meadows’s departure may not end up counting as a “pure” retirement — and that’s because he could end up resigning before his term is over. He toldthat he might not serve out the remainder of his term in order to take a position in Trump’s administration or join the president’s reelection campaign.
For now, though, the North Carolina 11th is in line to be an open seat next November, but that might change by the time the general election rolls around. After all, it’s not unheard of for a representative to announce a retirement but later resign early to do something else — Republicandid this last cycle, for example. The real question will be whether this spate of GOP retirements is a final flurry of sorts or if more are coming.
