These members of Congress are getting set to leave, voluntarily or otherwise

Published September 13, 2024 5:33am ET



Departing Congress members have only over three months left in office. The next Congress is set to take office on Jan. 3, 2025.

The list of departing lawmakers is already long but can be expected to grow after the Nov. 5 general election. It’s virtually certain that it will expand shortly after Election Day when Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) is heavily favored to win California’s open Senate seat. Because Schiff is also set to win a separate election to fill the final two months of the late Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s term, plus a new, six-year Senate term, he is expected to resign the House seat he’s held since January 2001 to become a senator about seven weeks ahead of the new Congress convening.
