Republican Majority in House Thins as Gallagher Announces Early Departure

The Republican majority in the House of Representatives is facing a significant shakeup as retiring Wisconsin Congressman Mike Gallagher has announced his early exit from Congress. Gallagher's decision to leave as soon as next month, instead of completing his term through the year, will leave Republicans with a narrow one-vote majority in the House.

In a statement released from his office, Gallagher outlined his plans to step down on April 19th, citing personal reasons for his early departure. This unexpected move comes at a critical juncture for the GOP, as they navigate various legislative challenges and internal dynamics. . .
