WASHINGTON — Rep. Mike Gallagher, R-Wis., who announced last month he would not run for re-election, will resign from Congress early, he confirmed in a statement Friday.
Gallagher’s departure before the end of his term in January is another blow to Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and House Republicans, who have been struggling to govern and demonstrate stability this Congress.
Two sources familiar with the matter told NBC News of Gallagher's plan to resign early on Friday. The Wisconsin Republican then released a statement announcing that he will depart on April 19.
The speaker's office confirmed that Gallagher informed Johnson of his decision earlier this week.

The GOP will have a one seat majority in the House in 4 weeks. There is no way this is not a coordinated plan which will eventually result in the Democrats having the majority before the November elections. They will then refuse to confirm Trump as President should he be re-elected.
There is no way there is not blackmail, bribery, or extortion involved in Gallagher's decision.

Wouldn't it be nice to know the communications and money transfers involved? Then make them public knowledge.
There have been rumors flying around that that is exactly the plan.

Nothing like leaving national “service” as a traitor.

“For sure a coordinated campaign. These snakes are disgusting.”
Even the excuse of the “lesser evil” is waning as a reason to vote for the GOP.

“Gallagher’s decision to leave on April 19 also means that there will not be a special election to fill his seat. Under Wisconsin state law, vacancies after the second Tuesday in April are filled in the general election, so Gallagher’s replacement will be decided in November and his seat will remain empty until January.”
This is a deliberate act of betrayal on Gallagher’s part. I’m sure he’ll give a speech saying how it’s the Christian thing to do.
A generation of vipers is in control of the Republican party just as much as the Demonrats.

How is it a 1 Seat majority if the GOP has 217 and the Dems have 213?

The swamp of which Gallagher is one, does not like the GOP majority. If they lose the house they will not swear in Trump.

Because all it takes is 2 to flip to not having a majority vote.
To: Truthsearcher
But the GOP would still have the majority?
