Rep. Mike Gallagher, R-Wis., chairman of the House select committee on China, announced he's leaving Congress on April 19, which will temporarily leave House Republicans with just a one-seat majority.
Gallagher revealed in February that he would not be running for a fifth term in the House, a shocking announcement for someone long considered a rising star within the Republican Party.
His early departure will mean that Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., can only afford to lose one GOP lawmaker on any vote that falls along party lines. That will likely remain the case until June, when there's a special election to replace ex-Rep. Bill Johnson, R-Ohio.

The Uni Party strikes again. Get rid of your Rinos.
No. He is Uni Party.
GOP bank accounts getting fatter and fatter...
The communists are buying them really cheap...
It’s a fire sale!
But the members of Congress elected in November will be the Congress to review the electoral votes, not the ones serving today.
Get ready for Hakeem Jefferies.
That puts the house one assassination away from Speaker Jeffries and mandatory mail in balloting in November. Deep State knows what it is doing.

He’s also resigning one week later than would allow for a special election in Wisconsin. His seat will remain empty until January.
But this would have nothing to do with that - the new Congress elected is seated before the Electors are counted. And - it is one vote per State delegation, not the whole of the House.
Yep. Blind trusts.
What difference does it make?
What’s this traitorous SOB’s excuse of leaving before his term?
I pray that if they attemp anything of the sort that the able bodied in this country, that love our country, would stand tall and take care of whatever needs to happen to right the ship.
"Rising star ...". Yeah, sure.
Very communistic plan. Do we demand cashiers not be able to quit too?
"After conversations with my family, I have made the decision to resign my position as a member of the House of Representatives for Wisconsin’s Eighth Congressional District, effective April 19, 2024," Gallagher said in a statement on Friday afternoon."
Also....
"Gallagher announced his departure from Congress just after he experienced blowback from members of his own party for not voting to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Gallagher was one of three Republicans who voted against the measure."
Sounds like a squish RINO to me. Article didn't say who the other 3 were.
RINO POS.
Why elect these aholes?
I am so done...somebody tell me why this sob is not having his azz kicked. Arrogant ahole can’t shut up andv
finish his term...no...he has to screw everybody in the country on his way out.
ARRRRGH! [pinal SCREAM!!]
See “B. Kemp”, GROPElite - GA.
Also: P. Ryan, GROPElite - OH.
“What is it that the Deep State can only accomplish with both houses of Congress and the Executive?”
Futility if they are republican.
It’s not that they haven’t had control of the house, but the many times in between the liberals told them to go suck an egg when it was decision time.
Republicans controlled all 3 from 1861–1865, 1867–75, 1888–1891, 1895–1911, 1921–1933, 1953–55 and 2001–2006, and 2017–2019.
You’ll notice the time frame from 1955 till 2001. That’s when most of the unrepairable crap happened. And congressional oversite goes into the toilet with the latest trend of executive orders that go by congress like a screen door.

He is probably considered a rising star in the DC UniParty.
He was another RINO. All of the Turdles rising stars are stabbing the country in the back on their way out.
