Rats Fleeing The Sinking Ship
The rats are really beginning to scurry. One after the other, key Democrats are announcing they will not seek re-election in 2026. The latest casualty: Dick Durbin, the second ranking Democrat in the U.S. Senate. He just announced he’s calling it quits, after having served from the state of Illinois since 1996.
Now, the leftists are bringing out their daggers, taking aim at the party’s No. 1 political leader in the Senate: Chuck Schumer in New York. Things are definitely going sour for the party since they elected the “progressive” gun control activist David Hogg as vice chairman of the Democratic National Committee.
Durbin is the fourth Democrats preparing to leave the Senate, along with Jeanne Shaheen from New Hampshire, Tina Smith from Minnesota and Gary Peters from Michigan. Only one Republican Senator is retiring: Mitch McConnell, and that’s really a gain for the GOP. Here’s more from Steve Turley.
