President Donald Trump's low approval ratings and erratic behavior reportedly have multiple incumbent Republican lawmakers eyeing an exit strategy.
Rep. Charlie Dent (R-PA), a key Republican moderate in a swing district, announced on Thursday that he would not be seeking another term in office.
However, sources tell New York Times reporter Jonathan Martin that Dent's departure is just the start of what could be a wave of retirements from lawmakers who no longer want to deal with the controversies that regularly erupt out of the White House.
"Two GOP pros msg me to say re: House retirements - this only the start," Martin wrote on Twitter Thursday night.
In a follow-up tweet, Martin said that another source had chimed in to say that it wasn't only moderates who were getting tired of Trump-related drama -- it seems more conservative members are getting ready to revolt as well.
"Not all are moderates," the source told Martin. "Conservatives are tired of this sh*t too."
