Debbie Stabenow, a 72-year-old radical leftist Democrat senator from Michigan who was instrumental in imposing Obamacare on a traumatized nation, said in a press release that she will not seek reelection in 2024. Hopefully, more Senate Democrats will follow her example, since trouble is building.

“The map favors the GOP in 2024 and Schumer cannot afford to lose any seats. Michigan is a swing state so the race for Stabenow’s seat could go either way without an incumbent,” Slay News reported.

Stabenow had no trouble entering Washington, D.C. in the first place.

“U.S. Senator from Michigan Debbie Stabenow announced today that she intends to retire, ending her decades-long career in Michigan politics. She won her first Senate election by a narrow margin in an upset, unseating GOP incumbent Spencer Abraham by just 1.6%.

This wasn’t her first federal election, however. In 1996, Stabenow flipped the Lansing-area congressional seat, and held it for two terms until running for Senate. Stabenow has a long and distinguished career as a representative for Michigan and she will be sorely missed,” a fan posted on Twitter on Friday in response:

“Inspired by a new generation of leaders, I have decided to pass the torch in the U.S. Senate. I am announcing today that I will not seek re-election and will leave the U.S. Senate at the end of my term on January 3, 2025,” her team wrote, adding:

“As part of my own new generation, I was elected to the Ingham County Commission in 1974 at the age of 24. As the youngest and first woman to chair the Board, this began years of breaking barriers, blazing trails, and being the ‘first’ woman to reach historic milestones as an elected official, including the honor of being the first woman from Michigan elected to the U.S. Senate. But I have always believed it’s not enough to be the ‘first’ unless there is a second and a third,” she said.

“When I ran for the State Legislature in 1978, there were only eight women serving in the State House and none in the State Senate or top statewide offices. This year there are 44 women serving in the State House and 15 in the Senate! Women hold the top three statewide elected offices, and we have the first female Majority Leader in the State Senate! Under the cloud of unprecedented threats to our democracy and our basic freedoms, a record-breaking number of people voted last year in Michigan. Young people showed up like never before. This was a very hopeful sign for our future,” she added.

The left’s comments after her withdrawal were fascinating, demonstrating their admiration for her.

“I’ve known Deb since she was a state Senator from down river.. a very articulate and professional woman.. she’s one of the best people I can say I know..

“I am ‘Made in Michigan.’ My work is deeply rooted in my love of our wonderful state. Whether protecting our Great Lakes, transforming mental health services, or ensuring our state can continue to make things and grow things to be competitive in our world economy, I am proud that my accomplishments have made a difference in people’s lives and created a strong foundation for a healthy and prosperous future for our state.

“For the next two years, I am intensely focused on continuing this important work to improve the lives of Michiganders. This includes leading the passage of the next five-year Farm Bill which determines our nation’s food and agriculture policies. It is also key in protecting our land and water and creating jobs in our rural and urban communities,” the retiring senator said.

“I am so grateful for the trust the people of Michigan have placed in me. I am also deeply grateful to my incredible staff, who are the best team in the United States Senate. They continue to set the highest standards for service in Michigan and across our country.

“When my term ends, I intend to begin a new chapter in my life that includes continuing to serve our State outside of elected office while spending precious time with my amazing 96-year-old mom and my wonderful family,” she said.

The “new” generation of leaders of whom she speaks presumably refers to the freshly minted House Democratic leader and his cohorts, since it cannot possible refer to Senate majority leader and New York senator Charles Schumer.

The similar issue is occurring on the House side, with Democrats departing Washington, D.C. Let’s hope others catch on to this trend.

“The number of House Democrats not seeking reelection this year has hit a 30-year high — a bleak benchmark reflecting frustrations with the gridlock on Capitol Hill, the toxicity of relations between the parties and the challenges facing Democrats as they fight to keep their slim majority in the lower chamber,” The Hill reported in Feb. 2022, ahead of the November midterms.

Goodbye, Debbie- thanks for nothing.
