Republican lawmakers are increasingly leaving office out of fear of the party's base, according to a new report

Another report noted that 41 U.S. lawmakers announced they won’t seek reelection at the end of their terms and more are expected to follow

The Atlantic described the feeling among Indiana Republicans, especially as members of the GOP block a redistricting plan that would allow the party to get more seats.

Another report by Axios claimed that House Republicans are also considering leaving office soon as infighting and external threats mount. The outlet noted that 41 lawmakers have announced they won’t seek reelection at the end of their terms and more are expected to follow.
