This is another blow to Republicans, who just lost Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-ME) yesterday to retirement. But the move wasn't unexpected. Unlike Snowe's retirment, Dreier's was one of the worst-kept secrets on the Hill.
Dreier joins a handful of other Republicans from California who are retiring as a result of redistricting. Dreier's district went away as a result of redistricting.
While a handful of members, who are in similar situations, are running in neighboring districts, Dreier had few other options.
In his floor speech, he said he made the decision, because Americans are asking for change in Congress.
