Case left the House of Representatives in January 2007 and returned in January 2019, representing his current district.
He made headlines just last month as one of dozens of House Democrats who called on President Biden to drop out of the 2024 presidential race, which Biden did later that month.
In a July 11 statement, Case maintained that his decision only came from concerns about the 81-year-old leader’s ability to carry out another four-year term.
"This has nothing to do with his character and record," Case said at the time. "If it did, there would be no decision to make."

Hawaii only has two congressional districts, both represented by Democrats, and both of its senators are also Democrats.
It’s a safe blue stronghold for the left despite pervasive issues like the high cost of living, which has traditionally been a potent political weapon for Republicans in other parts of the country.
Republican Patrick Largey is running unopposed for the Republican nomination to challenge Case in November.
