Rep. Debbie Dingell in tears after learning she will have to MOVE because redistricting swiped her seat

[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Democrat Rep. Debbie Dingell

...the blond, blue-eyed widow of John Dingell, who served in the House for Michigan districts for almost sixty years, having inherited his first seat from his father. No wonder she’s emotional about the latest family seat disappearing...

grew emotional on Wednesday night over having to leave her hometown of Dearborn, Michigan in order to keep serving in Congress after redistricting swiped her seat ahead of the 2022 midterm elections.For the first time in history, Michigan's new map was drawn by an independent commission rather than political operators. That saw the state's number of House seats drop from 14 to 13, and is forcing Dingell out of the 12th Congressional District she took over from her husband, late longtime Rep. John Dingell
...Octogenarian Dem representative-for-life from Michigan. He was first elected in the Upper Jurassic, when (D) stood for Dinosaur...
Members of her party are watching nervously as next year's races begin to take shape with 23 less Democrat incumbents -- all of whom are either retiring or seeking a different office.

Her interviewer asked, 'I saw you wipe away a tear. Did you think you’d get this emotional talking about this?'

'No, I didn't,' Dingell answered. 'Because I, you know, I lived there with my husband for a long time. But I still have all the people that I love.'
