Democrats were going to have a hard time holding their majority under the best of circumstances. When you factor in the weight of history and their recent series of problematic retirements (with more likely to come!), the majority looks very, very imperiled. A growing list of House Democrats from competitive districts is headed for the exits, adding yet another concern for a party facing an uphill fight to maintain control of Congress next year. The establishment media’s inkling of trouble for the Democrat Party is especially alarming, perhaps because redistricting will favor Republicans in many states. In Florida, for instance, Democrat Reps. Charlie Crist, Stephanie Murphy, and Val Demings, all Central Florida members near the I4 corridor, are either retiring or leaving for higher office, and that area will likely receive a new district due to its population growth, according to preliminary numbers from the University of Florida’s Bureau of Economic and Business Research (BEBR).
