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.

Flush these swishes out the door. America can’t move forward with these collaborators. Run MAGA candidates in their place and retake the House from a position of strength.
It’s clear what the plan is by the Deep State. Convert the House to majority Dem so Congress can officially declare Trump an insurrectionist right before the election - just as the Supreme Court telegraphed for Congress to do before the election.
Republicans won’t be happy until Democrats are in charge.
Republicans are a bunch of disgusting arrogant spineless weak willed lily liveried eunuchs.
Democrats intend to win by any means necessary.
The intention is to buy off four Republicans but still make it look like we have a majority. This is well coordinated in order to sabotage Trump if he gets in.
There will be no civil war.
If 2 people flip it will be a tie. So the GOP can only afford for one person to flip.
Precisely!
We need every vote. Dems stuck together since the 1960s. GOP never did it right.
This is another one from the incredible shrinking majority.
May have said to Soros and son: “The Porsche 911 and the envelope of $100,000 in non sequential old currency bills was really what I wanted for my birthday but I was too shy to ask. Thanks.”
I'm not defending the guy, but let's not forget that the Democrats are seeing Republicans with a 4-seat majority and one member still out recovering from injuries sustained after falling off of his roof.If they can take out Santos, that leaves them with a two-vote swing, and we have plenty of swing voters on our side who may be tempted to buck the party from time to time.
Besides, if they can take out Santos, they will likely ramp up their machine to target others until they can retake the majority.
It's just how the Democrats roll, and we will have to suck it up and tolerate our own bad seeds when things are this close and Democrats are ruthless at playing small ball.

Good thing, then, that Congress "confirming" or "certifying" an Electoral College result is not part of the Constitution.
And it's not the current House that is present when the votes are COUNTED, it's the new House, the one elected in November, and if you don't think the Democrats will be up 35 on January 3, 2025 I suggest that you get out more.
If they try to stop President Trump from being allowed Tobe President there will.
The calendar does not work the way you think it does.
The election of 2024 will choose a House of Representatives which will be seated on January 3, 2025.
Congress counts the electoral votes on January 6, 2025.

Even so, without a majority who investigates Hunter and his ugly wandering coot of an old man?
Lose it now, or lose it in November, not much difference. I suspect the country has noticed what Republicans have done with control of the House... investigate Hunter Biden.
Thus, showing why they are known as do nothings.
Another RINO leaves the house, good. Hey Wisconsin, elect a real Republican this time.
So they are 2 up. MCCarthy’s seat will be replaced in late May.
Good thing the House (whose loss is a certainty) has nothing to do with swearing in the President.
Any Federal Judge, JP, or county clerk can do that.
