Another Republican House member jumps ship.

Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen (R-N.J.), the chairman of the powerful House Appropriations Committee, announced Monday that he will not seek reelection in an increasingly competitive district.

This makes him the 9th Republican committee chairman to announce retirement in the 115th Congress.  Let’s go for 10!

The Democratic candidate will more than likely be Mikie Sherrill—a former federal prosecutor and Navy veteran—was identified by the DCCC as part of the “Red to Blue” program, “an initiative by the campaign committee to flip Republican districts nationwide.”  That means they will spend money on this race.

I will say one thing, if Republicans keep dropping out, they sure are making it hard for Russia to win this election.
