KY-03: Yarmuth retiring

[Alben Barkley]

Sucks, one of my favorite Congressmen. Will be really pissed if they gerrymander his district away entirely, but sadly unsurprised. Would that be the first time in history (or well, since the Democratic Party existed at least) KY has had no Democrat representing it???

Yeah this probably means Louisville's getting cracked. I wish Charles Booker was running for this seat instead. KY-Sen is Safe R.

I hope he doesn’t get any ideas to switch. We don’t need another socialist squad member.

You know, the whole Great Value Tom schtick is getting old.

Pretty much everyone here would be surprised. Thank your senator Mitch for it as well

Anyway the last time I see 0 Democrats is 9 "Unionists" during the Civil war.

Well that doesn't even count because War Democrats ran as "Unionists" at that time along with the Republicans (hence how Andrew Johnson of Tennessee managed to end up on Lincoln's "National Unity" ticket).
