Republicans Livid as Chaos Threatens Majority
March 23, 2024 at 11:09 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

“Dysfunction doesn’t even begin to cover it… Republicans were left fuming over the early resignations of Mike Gallagher and Ken Buck, with some suggesting it’s now within the realm of possibility for the House majority to flip to Democrats mid-Congress.”
