On Sept. 23, Rep. Andy Kim (D-N.J) became the 15th U.S. House member not to seek reelection in 2024. Kim, in office since 2019, is retiring to run for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.).
Including Kim, 20 members of Congress—five Senators and 15 Representatives—have announced they will not seek re-election in 2024 as of Oct. 16. This number doesn’t include Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), who had announced her retirement but died on Sept. 29.
The 20 retiring members include 14 Democrats—three in the Senate and 11 in the House—as well as six Republicans—two in the Senate and four in the House.
