Republican Rep. Ken Buck is fed up with Congress, calling it “dysfunctional,” and plans to make an early exit next week, further shrinking the House GOP majority’s slim hold.
“This place has just evolved into this bickering and nonsense and not really doing the job for the American people,” Buck said in an interview with CNN on Tuesday.
After nearly a decade in Congress, the Colorado Republican said he will resign his seat and leave Washington on March 22. His last day is also the deadline for Congress to pass a second package of six fiscal 2024 appropriations bills, or else trigger a partial government shutdown.
