Most of the Republicans that are not running for another term at one time didn't have to do anything to run for re-election. That changed this last time when they had to fight tooth and nail to win against Democrats and not by a lot either. This isn't coming from my blue shaded glasses this is what Republicans are saying. If you think they are retiring for a change of pace in their lives then it's you who may need to look beyond your red shades.

The issue when Texas actually comes into play in an election and there is a big difference between 2020 and 2028. 2018 was colored a lot by an extremely unlikable incumbent in Ted Cruz. Greg Abbot who is a tea party republican won by over 1 million votes last year. Democrats got closer in the house but still finished about 300,000 votes under republicans in their most energized midterm maybe ever.
