Summary

More than three dozen members of Congress, most in the House, but six senators have announced their retirement. While some are running for other seats and offices, some say their decisions were motivated by the chaos and dysfunction on Capitol Hill. We recently spoke to FOX News Radio Political Analyst Josh Kraushaar, who has covered Congress for years, about why so many lawmakers are leaving. Josh explained how the changes could make for some interesting races and how the balance of power could shake up yet again. We bring you plenty of fresh interviews each day during the week, and sometimes we have more to share, like this one. On the FOX News Rundown Extra, you will hear for the first time our interview with FOX News Radio Political Analyst Josh Kraushaar and get his take on Congress' 'mass exodus' and what it says about the state of politics in America ... and what impact it can have on 2024.
