Another retirement spells even more trouble for House Democrats
CNN
On Monday, New York Democratic Rep. Tom Suozzi announced he plans to leave his 3rd District seat behind to run for governor in 2022.
Asked about whether control of his seat -- or the House more generally -- mattered much in his decision, Suozzi said it "wasn't a big factor."
Which is all well and good for him! But Democratic strategists -- from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on down -- don't have the luxury and Suozzi's retirement is simply the latest in a series of body blows for the party's majority chances in recent weeks.
Looking to shore up Latino votes in Nevada and Arizona for his reelection campaign, President Joe Biden is on the verge of soon following up last week’s executive action aimed at curbing border crossings with another move focused on providing legal status for long-term undocumented immigrants married to American citizens and without criminal records.
