Seven more R's the past 2 weeks are are not going to run for re-election.
Will Hurd is leaving, and he was the only African American Republican Congressman in the House.
He was well regarded by both sides but it seems that he won't/cannot continue under this current administration.
He was one of the few R's that would speak against the wall/trump.
This will leave, after the 2020 election, one Republican African American in Congress, Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina
How is that for being inclusive of the general population?
From the article:
"There are more people named "Jim" in the House, than there are Republican women running for re-election."
Congresswomen Susan Brooks, who was the head of recruitment for GOP is leaving.
2 of the 13 repub women in congress are leaving
How's that for diversity?
In general though, it seems that these republicans are tired of fighting trump
and kowtowing to his wishes. Disagree with him and he'll try to end your political career.
