GOP Surges Amid Exodus of Women Democrats From Congress
Women are the backbone of the Democratic Party, and yet, there’s an ongoing exodus of 11 Democratic women from the House.
This includes Rep. Stephanie Murphy, a member of the Jan. 6 Committee who flipped her Florida district from red to blue, and reflects the dashed hopes of the progress that unified power had briefly promised.
“I’m accustomed to being stoned by Republicans,” Murphy said when she announced she wouldn’t be running for reelection. “I was a bit surprised to see Democrats eat their own.”
