Issa quits ahead of Democratic wave

NBC:
Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Ca., will not seek re-election later this year, opening up another battleground in the deep blue state as Republicans and Democrats spar for control of the House.

Issa's decision to leave Congress, reported Wednesday, follows the announced retirement of Rep. Ed Royce, R-Ca., earlier this week.

Issa, who joined Congress in 2001, only narrowly got re-elected to his seat in California's 49th Congressional District in 2016. In the presidential race, Hillary Clinton won his district by 7 percentage points.

  1. Good.

    He ducked constituents during the healthcare debate and was a no-show to a town hall meeting.

    He deserves to go.
