Reps. Ken Buck, R-Colo., and Kay Granger, R-Texas, said Wednesday that they won’t seek re-election next year, announcements that come after their conference was embroiled in chaos for more than three weeks last month trying to elect a new speaker.
Buck, 64, has served in the House since 2015 and attributed his decision to retire from Congress in part to his party’s reliance on former President Donald Trump’s false claims that that the 2020 presidential election was stolen.
Apologies if posted.
