Democrats are in retreat as they head into this election year. In a stark display of the partys lack of confidence in its prospects in Novembers midterms, 29 House Democrats have announced that they wont be running for reelection. Given the partys razor-thin majorities, Joe Bidens sinking popularity, and the fact that the party of the sitting president almost always suffers losses in midterm elections, it looks as though the Democrats are going to get eviscerated if they dont quickly change course.
