Der republikanische Abgeordnete Barry Loudermilk wird Republikaner im 29. Repräsentantenhaus und strebt keine Wiederwahl an

From the article:

Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.) on Wednesday announced he will not seek reelection, ending his congressional career after more than a decade and adding to the ranks of Republicans declining to run for another term.

“I first ran for election to Congress in 2014 and, as I stated then, representing the people in Congress is a service, not a career; and although I continue to have strong support from the people of the Eleventh Congressional District, I believe it is time to contribute to my community, state, and nation in other ways,” Loudermilk said in a statement. “Therefore, I have decided not to seek re-election at the end of my current term in Congress.”

Loudermilk is the 29th Republican member of the House to say will not seek reelection in 2026 — either due to retirement, or seeking higher office — as Republicans brace for a tough midterm election. Loudermilk’s northern Georgia district is reliably Republican.

Rats scurrying off the sinking ship? Or people with a shred of conscience who don’t want to be associated with the new dictatorship? 

„*Loudermilk is the chair of Republicans’ Select Subcommittee to Investigate the Remaining Questions Surrounding January 6, which he pushed with an assist from President Trump“*

Sounds like we’re losing a real winner here. *rolls eyes*

It’s called cashing out

This is just the tip of the iceberg. I wouldn’t be shocked if we see even more retirements before the election.

They’re learning, behind closed doors, that the actual, serious, already-in-action plan is to rig the midterms.

It’s not that they object, they just don’t want to end up tarred and feathered when the 75,000,000 people they’re actively planning to disenfranchise come for them with their pitchforks.

So they’re taking the easy way out to watch safely from their mansions.

Good riddance and shame on you for helping to cause all this.

The fuck kinda last name is loudermilk lol

The rats are running down the ropes to the docks.

Hope he remembers to pickup his pardon from Trump on his way out. Cause the Democrats have some questions for him.

People love working for Trump! Oh wait….

Misleading and not an unusual number leaving their positions. A good number of them are running for senate or other political offices. These guys come from heavy red areas and will be replaced with another traitor most likely.

This is not a sign of pending defeat. Keep pushing.

The GOP platform has aged like Loudermilk

Is this more than average turn over though?

“Georgia’s 11th congressional district is located northwest of Atlanta and is Republican-favoring.The 2025 Cook Partisan Voting Index rates the district as favoring Republicans by 12 points. The Almanac has stated that a Democrat with a strong base in populous Cobb County could result in a competitive race.”

I’m afraid this is to allow a worse MAGA right-winger to take his place.

Rather vote for quietermilk

quiet, milk

Reminds me of something about rats and a ship..

I love the cope in this thread. Unfortunately, these republicans are leaving because they’ve gotten what they needed to out of the government and now they are looking for cushy private jobs outside of the public eye where they can continue to enrich themselves or cash in on whatever agreement they sold their integrity for while serving. This isn’t admirable, this isn’t about covering their asses, this isn’t about getting out early, and its not because they don’t want to be a part of the admin anymore, they are simply being tactical.

Loudermilk soon to be quietermilk

They won’t speak up so instead they drop out.

Enjoy eternity in hell traitor.

Is this them attempting to out in Trump loyalists and forcing out old republicans or old republicans scurrying off of the sinking ship?
