RINO Saboteur Mike Gallagher Double Crosses GOP Base With Deliberately-Timed Resignation To Narrow House Edge To One Seat

Republican Representative Mike Gallagher, chairman of the House select committee on China, announced he’s leaving Congress on April 19, which will temporarily leave House Republicans with just a one-seat majority.

If Gallagher resigned before the 2nd Tuesday in April, they could have an special election to fill his seat. But by waiting until the 19th, the seat cannot be filled until after the Nov. election.

The answer to this act of treachery is to expel Mike Gallagher now and hold a special election. They threw out George Santos who always voted MAGA, in the interest of the we the people. Throw this traitor out.

Another House Republican Is Resigning—Narrowing GOP Edge To One Seat

By: Sara DornForbes, March 24, 2024:

Rep. Mike Gallagher, R-Wisc., is resigning from Congress effective April 19, he announced Friday—delivering a major blow to the Republican conference’s slim majority that has shrunk as former President Donald Trump’s ideological allies have overtaken the GOP.

Gallagher, who announced last month he would not run for re-election, said he made the decision to leave before his term ends “after conversation with [his] family” and “worked closely with House Republican leadership” on his timeline for stepping down.

Gallagher has expressed frustrations with his party as it has become increasingly beholden to Trump’s divisive brand of politics—he said earlier this month he was unsure if he would attend the GOP convention in July, citing his decision not to seek re-election, and he was one of only four Republicans to vote against impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

His resignation means Republicans can afford to lose just one vote to pass legislation without the support of Democrats, after a string of resignations and indicted former Rep. George Santos’, R-N.Y., removal from Congress.

A special election to replace ex-Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., is set to take place in May. McCarthy’s former seat in California’s 20th Congressional District is a safe red seat, so it’s likely going to give Johnson a GOP win.

Before that, however, is an April 30 special election to replace Rep. Brian Higgins, D-N.Y., a longtime left-wing lawmaker who departed earlier this year. That election will likely see Democrats add to their tally, which would keep the House majority at one seat.
