Beau says:
Republican representatives leaving prematurely indicate a shift in the House dynamics, potentially impacting the already slim majority and revealing underlying party discord.

Well, howdy there, internet people, it's Beau again.
So today, we are once again going to talk about
the US House of Representatives
and the apparently ever-shrinking Republican majority,
and the apparently ever-shrinking Republican majority,
because another Republican representative,
Mike Gallagher of Wisconsin,
is declining to finish the rest of his term.
It's worth noting, he's a committee chair.
that's odd. He is indicated he will be leaving on April 19th. April 19th is a
date that under Wisconsin law means there won't be a special election to
fill his seat. It's just going to be vacant until the general. This means that
in a party line vote, the Republican Party can have one representative cross one.
That is the thinnest of majorities. Okay, so now that we have laid this out, it's
time to do a little flashback. Remember the last Republican representative that
decided not to finish his term. Ken Buck, do you remember what he said on his way
out the door? I think it's the next three people that leave they're going to be
worried about. I mean this could just be a coincidence. You have to keep that in
mind. At the same time, it's kind of worth noticing that Gallagher and Buck were
both, let's just say, critical of House GOP antics when it came to things that
were supposed to be serious endeavors, hypothetically speaking, the impeachments.
Given their similar position on that topic, it would not be surprising if
Gallagher had mentioned to Buck that he was leaving, which means that maybe
there's two more coming. The Republican Party in the House, dysfunctional,
disarray, these terms get thrown around a lot. Understand this is, this is unusual.
This is worth noting and it seems to be those people who are more interested in
And abiding by the basic principles of the Constitution that are just, they've had enough.
The Republican Party is not the Republican Party of yesteryear.
It is starting to show more and more as people who have been around, Gallagher's been up
there, I don't know, seven years and they're just not hanging around anymore.
It's probably in large part due to the attitudes, due to the infighting, due to
the focus on social media and due to the fact that, well, I mean it's not like
they've gotten anything done. I would imagine that there are a lot of people
up there who feel like they're wasting their time. Or maybe it's just a wild
coincidence and there's not two more coming. Or maybe he knew about Gallagher
but just decided to throw a couple more in there to make the leadership sweat.
any of it's possible, but the fact that another one occurred and it's somebody
who likely talked to Buck, it forces you to give a little bit more credibility to
idea that there's more coming. Anyway, it's just a thought. Y'all have a good day.
