In a surprising turn of events, Wisconsin Congressman Mike Gallagher announced that he will not seek re-election. Gallagher, who was one of the Republicans to vote against impeaching Mayorkas on Tuesday, has decided to step down, leaving one more seat up for grabs. This development could have major consequences for the GOP's already slim majority in the House.
The loss of Gallagher's seat adds to the challenges faced by Speaker Mike Johnson as he tries to navigate the complex task of counting votes and maintaining party cohesion. Last week, Johnson faced a setback when several Republicans joined the Democrats, resulting in a loss of votes. The situation has become increasingly tight, with Johnson's leadership being called into question.
