Steve Stivers: ‘I’m Not Very Worried’ About GOP Retirements

‘The only retirements I would be worried about are competitive seats’

EXCERPT:

HEILEMANN: "How worried are you about -- about future retirements from your -- from the caucus?" 
STIVERS: "So I’m not very worried about retirements. Right now there are five competitive seats with Republicans retiring and five competitive seats with Democrats retiring. So it’s about a push on retirements. But if you look at more Ruby red Republican seats we have a ton of retirements there, but they’re not going to flip parties. So the only retirements I'd be worried about are competitive seats that could actually change the balance of races. Right now there’s about 50 races in play. Democrats need to expand the field if they’re going to have a shot to take the House."
