The announced retirements of Republican Sens. Bob Corker (Tenn.) and Jeff Flake (Ariz.) — plus Democratic Sen. Doug Jones’s stunning upset in Alabama and the emergence of crackpot Republican candidates (e.g., Joe Arpaio and Kelli Ward in Arizona) — have put the Senate majority in play. A tidal wave of retirements in the House, including nine chairmen as of Wednesday, increases the chances of a GOP wipe-out.
