In a surprising political development, Republican Rep. Garret Graves (R-LA) has announced he is retiring from Congress and will not seek re-election this year.
The decision from Graves, an ally of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), follows a redistricting that turned his district into the second black-majority area in the state.
The change complicates the re-election landscape.
Graves cited the recent redistricting as a pivotal reason for his decision not to run again.
