According to John Gizzi, Stivers is retiring from his safe seat to become the head of the Chamber of Commerce in Ohio, which is reportedly a good paying job with lots of benefits. His leaving, however, will increase the number of votes between Republicans and Democrats from five to six, making it harder to get enough red-state Democrats to join with Republicans in opposing some of these bills.
But the issue isn’t just with Stivers. According to Gizzi, six more House Republicans are either retiring or seeking higher office in the US Senate, which could make it more difficult to keep these seats and win a majority in November.

After giving his first prime-time address Thursday night, President Joe Biden walked away, ignoring a question called out by a reporter.
In one sense, turning away is symbolic of the Biden White House’s attitude toward the media. The president has gone longer than any other president in 100 years without holding a formal press conference.
Barack Obama’s first press conference came 20 days after his inauguration; Donald Trump had one 27 days into his term. George W. Bush waited more than a month–33 days–to hold a press conference, the previous record.
