Republican Representative Victoria Spartz made a significant announcement on Monday, revealing that she will not be participating in House committees or the House Republican caucus due to what she referred to as the 'circuses' of House GOP leadership. This decision, shared on social media, highlights the challenges that House Speaker Mike Johnson will face as he navigates a narrow majority in the chamber in the upcoming term.
Spartz, a lawmaker from Indiana, is known for wavering on crucial votes and positions. The announcement came after she was not appointed to the House Ways and Means Committee, according to two sources familiar with the matter. Despite this move, Spartz clarified that she will remain registered as a Republican.
