From Jonathan Martin at the NYT:

NEWS: @RepKenMarchant to retire tomorrow, per two Republicans. He’ll be the fourth Texas Republican in recent weeks to call it quits.

And Marchant’s DFW-area district is highly competitive. After winning it by double digits, he only carried it by three last year.

His likely D opponent has the ad in the OP of this thread.

Also, JD Scholten confirmed today that he will run against Steve King in Iowa. He missed ousting King by only 3 points/10,000 votes in 2018.

“Republican challengers in the House are running to serve a single term -- likely in the minority -- before reapportionment/ redistricting. For some, waiting until 2022 might sound like a better option.”

+1. It amazes me that Steve King can spit out racist, misogynistic venom regularly and get so little press coverage for it.

The GOP deserves her, she should definitely run.

Awwwww, sad trombone sound for Steve King, everyone:

“In past cycles, corporate PACs have donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to Steve King's reelection efforts. Not only have they abandoned him this cycle, but at least six of his past corporate donors are giving to his GOP primary opponent.”

Rep. Sean Duffy (R-WI) is retiring. Probably not a flip a bowl seat since Trump took it by 20 points. https://m.facebook.com/RepSeanDuffy/posts/2336859069716297?sfnsw=cl

Who knows? Special elections can be unpredictable-with the right candidate the seat could flip (see Conor Lamb).
