As both parties wrestle for control of the Senate next year, several lawmakers in the House are looking to trade their seats in the lower chamber for greater legislative influence.
At least 12 lawmakers so far have announced they would forgo reelection in the House to run instead for a Senate seat in November, marking the largest cohort of such retirements since the 2014 midterm elections, when 13 members did the same. Of the current 12, nine are Democrats and three are Republicans.
