>“It’s time to pass the torch and allow a new guard of conservative leaders to step forward and chart a path forward for Missourians,” Graves said. Translation: "I looked at the polls and really don't want to be here in 2027."

As a committee chair, this Republican grifter makes fat paychecks giving five minutes "speeches" for lobbyists before teeing off at an exclusive golf club. When he loses his chair he loses God knows how much grift. So, he isnt going to stick around for the $250,000 chump change congressional pay. He'll take some no-show corporate senicure and laugh at all the plebes actually working for a living and contributing something to America.

I would love to see Congress pass a law that vests Congress in their retirement after 6 years (current case) but reduces the benefit by 10% for every year they serve beyond that. So a self imposed term limit.
