With Rep. Mayra Flores (R-Texas) sworn in after special election win, there are five House vacancies. Rep. Ted Deutch (D-Fla.) is set to begin new job as CEO of American Jewish Committee on Oct. 1. So, it's possible the entire 117th Congress will pass without a full House. — PolitiTweet.org

The first @cspan appearance by House Jan. 6 committee witness J. Michael Luttig was June 29, 1995, at the funeral of former Chief Justice of the U.S. Warren Burger. Luttig then was a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals-Fourth Circuit. https://t.co/bVPRzdJHoB @HowardMortman — PolitiTweet.org

Corrine Brown (D) is the latest ex-House member to try for a comeback, in open FL10. Brown was in the House from 1993-2017. Last month she plead guilty to one federal count of tax fraud, including lying to the IRS and capping a years-long legal saga. https://t.co/JcIRqEJetT — PolitiTweet.org

Ex-Rep. Crescent Hardy the latest former House member to lose a comeback bid, in NV01 GOP primary. Other 2022 losers: Ex-Reps. Paul Broun (R-Ga.), Jim Bunn (R-Ore.), and Renee Ellmers (R-N.C.). Ex-Rep. Ryan Zinke won GOP nod in MT01 and is likely to rejoin the House, in 01/23. — PolitiTweet.org

So far, five of the ten House Republicans who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump won't be returning to Congress. Four are retiring and Rep. Tom Rice (R-S.C.) lost renomination. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Tom Rice (R-S.C.) is the fifth House member to lose renomination in 2022. Along with Reps. Carolyn Bourdeaux (D-Ga.), Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.), David McKinley (https://t.co/n3cbSd2XRe.), and Kurt Schrader (D-Ore.). — PolitiTweet.org

With a Mayra Flores (R) win in TX34, House Democrats' majority gets even slimmer for the final six months of this term. Would make for 220 D, 210 R, with current vacancies likely to go 4 R and 1 D. Making for a 220-215 split when all filled. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Tom Rice (R), likely losing renomination in SC07 — tonight or in a June 28 runoff — campaigned with ex-House Speaker Paul Ryan as the contest wound down. Suggests Ryan isn't exactly an influential figure in GOP politics these days, to put it mildly. — PolitiTweet.org

Maine will host pair of GOP comeback attempts in November. Ex-Gov. Paul LePage is seeking his old office against Dem Gov. Janel Mills. Ex-Rep. Bruce Poliquin was ousted by Dem Rep. Jared Golden in 2018. They'll face off again in the fall. — PolitiTweet.org

Ex-Rep. Ryan Zinke (R-Mont.) is likely a rare ex-House member who will return to the House in January 2023, after his GOP primary win in MT01. Three comeback bids have failed in the 2022 primaries, by ex-Reps. Paul Broun (R-Ga.), Jim Bunn (R-Ore.), and Renee Ellmers (R-N.C.). — PolitiTweet.org

@brianros1 @LPDonovan @algaraca Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R) lost badly in his first bid for public office, a 1986 Senate race against Dem Sen. Dale Bumpers. Actually, Mike Huckabee then lost to Bumpers in 1992 as the GOP nominee. So, you never know how a political career can go. — PolitiTweet.org

David Mark @DavidMarkDC

@LPDonovan @algaraca Good point. And Kean's first House race was actually in 2000, losing in the Republican primary to eventual Rep. Mike Ferguson. So, he's been in the game for well over 20 years now. — PolitiTweet.org

@AlexCVassar Amazing this campaign thank you note was written on official Senate letterhead. Today that would quickly earn review — and probably sanction — by the Senate Ethics Committee. — PolitiTweet.org

@algaraca @LPDonovan Along those lines, ex-Rep. Bill McCollum of FL. Lost Senate races in 2000 (general) and 2004 (GOP primary). And, as FL AG, lost 2010 gubernatorial primary bid. Though by the time McCollum started running statewide he had been in the House for 20 years. So no "rising star" type. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Steve Palazzo was thought to be the Mississippi Republican in danger of losing their House GOP primary. Instead, it's Rep. Michael Guest, down 48%-39% in early returns to Michael Cassidy, an instructor pilot. Guest voted for independent Jan. 6 committee. — PolitiTweet.org
