Representative Mike Gallagher announced he would resign from Congress before his term is up, shrinking the GOP's already-raiser-thin majority in the House. Gallagher, a four-term lawmaker who was considered a rising star within the GOP, announced last month he would not seek reelection. But now, he said he would leave the House on April 19th, Wisconsin law dictates that anyone who resigns after the second week of April would only be replaced in November. Gallagher's departure will leave House Republicans with 217 members to Democrats 213, meaning Speaker Mike Johnson can afford to lose only one vote on any bill that doesn't have Democratic support. His announcement came shortly after the House passed its final fiscal 2024 funding bill after months of dramatic negotiations, and after Representative Marjorie Taylor-Green filed a motion to House the Speaker. I filed a motion to vacate today, but it's more of a warning and a pink slip. I find a new Speaker of the House that will stand with Republicans and our Republican majority instead of standing with the Democrats.
