The number of House Republicans declining to run for re-election has hit a record level in 2018, as 32 GOP members have said they are leaving: 19 are retiring from public office, while 13 are seeking another position.
House Democrats are facing 15 retirements, including three seats they will have to defend in districts President Trump carried in 2018.
Just three members of the Senate have announced their retirements, all Republicans.
