Maryland Democrat Rep. Steny Hoyer, 86, is going to announce his retirement from the House after decades in Congress as early as Thursday.<\/p>\n

Steny Hoyer was first elected to Congress in 1981. <\/p>\n

House Democrats are promoting the younger (and more radical) members to leadership positions.<\/p>\n

Politico reported<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

Maryland Rep. Steny Hoyer is set to announce his retirement from the House as soon as Thursday, capping off a decades-long career in Congress, according to two people who were granted anonymity to confirm the news ahead of a public announcement.<\/p>\n

Hoyer, who represents a district stretching from the eastern Washington suburbs to southern Maryland, has served since 1981, rising up through the ranks to become the second-ranking House Democrat under Speaker Nancy Pelosi.<\/p>\n

He stepped aside from his senior role after Democrats lost the House in 2022 as part of a broader changing of the guard but remained in Congress, retaking a senior post on the House Appropriations Committee.<\/p>\n

Only two sitting House members \u2014 GOP Reps. Hal Rogers of Kentucky and Chris Smith of New Jersey \u2014 have served longer than Hoyer, and only by a few months.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Recall that Steny Hoyer stepped down<\/a> from his leadership role as House Majority Leader after the Republicans took control of the House of Representatives during the 2022 midterms. <\/p>\n

Hoyer said he\u2019s proud of the role he played in destroying the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am proud of the role I have played over the last four decades to make our country a more perfect & inclusive union & ensure that our workers & families can #MakeItInAmerica. I am profoundly grateful to my constituents and to my colleagues for giving me this opportunity.\u201d he said back in November 2022.<\/p>\n

Former Speaker Pelosi, 85, also announced she was retiring from leadership after the 2022 midterms.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow we must move boldly into the future,\u201d Pelosi said. \u201cThe hour has come for a new generation,\u201d Pelosi said.<\/p>\n

Last year Pelosi announced she would not be seeking reelection. <\/p>\n
