Pelosi’s Majority Crumbles: Democrat Rep. Tom Suozzi Will Run for New York Governor, Not Reelection:
Democrat Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-NY) announced he is joining the already crowded race for New York governor, challenging Gov. Kathy Hochul (D), who has had less than a year on the job since she was elevated to the position after the former embattled governor resigned earlier this year.
“I am running for Governor of NY as a common sense Democrat who gets things done,” Suozzi tweeted Monday morning. “I have the track record, common sense approach to governing & bold new vision to get it done. I can do it, because I’ve done it!”
Suozzi joining the race and leaving the House of Representatives further hurts House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) chances of keeping the wafer-thin House majority as the congressman is the eighteenth House Democrat to announce he is leaving the House due to retirement or running for a different position in the state or local level. --->READ MORE HERE

18 Democrats Will Abandon the House — More than Triple GOP Needs to Win Back Majority:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) ambitions of keeping the Democrat majority in the House of Representatives past the midterm elections next year are dwindling as droves of vulnerable Democrats have announced they are leaving their current seats to either retire or seek a different office instead of fighting in a brutal reelection.
Republicans only need to net five seats to pick up the House majority after the midterms. So far, more than triple the amount of Democrats (18 total) have decided to officially call it quits on the House and have left their seats open for a fight, giving Republicans a chance to gain another seat since House Republicans only need to net five seats to gain the majority and retire Pelosi as Speaker.
Vulnerable Democrats will be facing tough reelection battles across the county, having to campaign in districts that more than likely have different lines after redistricting in addition to their having sided with President Joe Biden on many key partisan issues, as his approval numbers after only holding office for ten months have tanked.
This week, vulnerable Democrat Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-NY), a loyal confidant of Pelosi, was the eighteenth House Democrat to announce he will be leaving the House to join the crowded race for New York governor. He will be leaving behind a largely suburban district, which would be tough for Democrats to hold without a strong incumbent. This willl potentially give Republicans a pickup seat in New York because Democrats have struggled to find new candidates willing to run for office. --->READ MORE HERE
