MEDINA, Ohio — Rep. Bob Gibbs, R-Ohio, announced his retirement Wednesday, a decision that follows a long and chaotic redistricting process that pushed him into a primary against a first-time candidate endorsed by former President Donald Trump.
"This circus has provided me the opportunity to assess my future," Gibbs said in an emailed statement that accused the Ohio Supreme Court of moving too slow in hearing challenges to proposed maps. "To that end, after considerable deliberation, I have decided to not seek re-election this year. This was a difficult decision, one which I did not make lightly."
Gibbs, 67, is in his sixth term representing Ohio's 7th Congressional District, which for the last decade has covered a largely rural area of Northeast Ohio and several Cleveland suburbs. The redrawn district includes less of Gibbs' long-standing turf and more suburbs. But Gibbs' most significant obstacle to a seventh term was former Trump White House and campaign aide Max Miller, one of several other candidates who filed for the May 3 primary.
Miller, who hails from a Cleveland family well-known for its real estate development and philanthropy, earned Trump's endorsement for Congress last year when he was poised to challenge another GOP incumbent, Rep. Anthony Gonzalez. Gonzalez, one of 10 Republicans who voted to impeach Trump after the 2021 attack on the Capitol, later announced he would not seek another term. Ohio's congressional redistricting process — which has been led by Republicans who've been accused of being too partisan in their mapmaking — eventually resulted in a new 7th District that included the homes of Miller and Gibbs.

Time’s up, freak.
Adios, mofo.
L
Don’t let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya.
Good riddance to some seriously bad rubbish!!!!
So this liberal pantywaist is not only running away because of big, bad Trump... but he also has a problem with the Ohio Supreme Court failing to support DEMOCRAT CHALLENGES to the Republican redistricting map quickly enough.
This scumbag IS a Democrat, and always was. ESAD.
I fully expect more of this happening, but Trump needs to do a better job of personally vetting. (He has some advisors that need not be followed, um Jared)
So that’s five now.
Cool.
Because campaigning is hard, he is retiring. Good. If there is no fight in him, he doesn’t need to be in DC as a rep.
“Ohio’s congressional redistricting process — which has been led by Republicans who’ve been accused of being too partisan in their mapmaking.....”
Dear tribe of media controllers: Now do Illinois, New York and California.
One more Bush League Republican gone.
ALL Bush League Republicans are Assistant Democrats.
Some wear the R jersey camouflage better than others.
Trump statement from this morning:
“ I want to congratulate Congressman Bob Gibbs of Ohio on a wonderful and accomplished career. His retirement, after serving in Congress for more than a decade, should be celebrated by all. He was a strong ally to me and MAGA, voting to support my America First agenda and fighting strongly against the Radical Left. Thank you for your service, Bob—a job well done! “
Where I used to work we called that “a sh!t filled twinkie”
Yeah, Trump really has lost his power.
HAHAHAHAHAHA
No loss. I live within a few miles of this district and have never heard of Gibbs. A politician has to work hard to be that invisible.
Good - get out of the way you punk 🤪
