In an interview published on Friday, Representative Murphy accused the party leadership of acting against the interests of moderate Democrats.

Murphy will not run for a third term in Congress. Murphy is the first Vietnamese-American woman ever elected to Congress and is a co-chair of the centrist Blue Dog Coalition.

Murphy said that Democratic leadership tried to beat moderates into submission during negotiations over the Biden administration's legislative agenda.

Moderate Democrats objected to the party leadership's attempts to pass a social spending bill. The social spending bill was put on hold after Senator Joe Manchin announced his opposition to the initiative in December.

Murphy said that attempts to connect the infrastructure bill and social spending package was a failed strategy.

Murphy claimed that with Democrats in the majority, the party had less tolerance for voting in ways that would keep moderate districts.

In order for us to hold the majority, you have to be able to win in seats like mine and redder seats.

31 House Democrats have announced plans to retire. Glenn Youngkin's win in the Virginia governor's race has Republicans hoping to regain the majority in the House.
