The Republican majority in the US House has steadily gotten smaller since the 2022 election.
“Rep. Ken Buck, R-Colo., who frequently defied his own party and announced last fall he would not seek re-election, said Tuesday he will resign from Congress at the end of next week, further shrinking the GOP’s already razor-thin majority.
“Today I am announcing that I will depart Congress at the end of next week,” Buck said in a statement. “I look forward to staying involved in our political process, as well as spending more time in Colorado and with my family.”
His departure will cut the House Republican margin to 218-213; Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., will continue to have two votes to spare before needing Democrats to govern.” [READ MORE]
