June 6, 2024: Fifty-two members of Congress— eight senators and 44 members of Congress— have announced they will not seek re-election this year. That is more than at this point in 2020 but less than in 2022 and 2018. An average of 39 members retired from Congress each election year between 1930 and 2022.
