Bobby Rush, 75, will announce Tuesday his retirement at the end of his 15th term in Congress, making him the 24th House Democrat who won't seek reelection in the 2022 midterms.

Rush is the only politician to have ever beat Barack Obama in an election, which happened in the 2000 Democratic primary for Illinois's 1st congressional district. Rush still represents that district and has since 1993.

His decision to retire now makes two dozen Democrats who are leaving the House, causing panic in the caucus as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi tries to cling to her party's majority in the lower chamber.

Pelosi can only afford to lose three seats to maintain a majority with a 221-213 split.

The Senate is even more precarious as it remains split at 50-50, causing Vice President Kamala Harris to make the tie-breaking vote in any party line results.

The razor thin margins has fueled Democrats' concerns that the GOP could take back a majority in either chamber and blockade Biden's agenda for the remainder of his first term.
