Republican Representative Mike Gallagher of Wisconsin has announced his decision to resign from Congress early, dealing another blow to Speaker Mike Johnson and the already razor-thin Republican majority. Gallagher confirmed in a statement that his resignation will be effective as of April 19.
This news comes amidst a backdrop of political shifts in the House of Representatives, with three existing vacancies - two left by Republicans and one by a Democrat. Additionally, Republican Representative Ken Buck of Colorado has also indicated his intention to leave Congress after this week.
