KY-03: Yarmuth retiring

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

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???

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.

Republicans could have done it before 2006 with Anne Northup in KY-03, but they kept losing either the 6th or 4th.

Also as to the point about NC Republicans "Turning over a new leaf" you must be absolutely joking.
NC Republicans aren't "paid" to turn over a new leaf, they are paid to put their backers interests in as good a condition politically as possible. That means they will go for broke, use CJ Newby to stonewall the lawsuits and in 2022 they have two Democratic Justices up for retention, if just one is flipped the GOP takes the court.
