More “fed up” Republicans may leave before the election in hopes of cashing in on the private sector, reporter says
More House Republicans may quit before the end of their terms, which could potentially allow Democrats to regain control of the chamber before the elections.
The early departures of Reps. Ken Buck, R-Colo., and Mike Gallagher, R-Wis., dropped the Republican majority’s margin to just one vote. Gallagher’s planned departure on April 19 is immediately after a date that would trigger a special election to fill his seat, meaning it is expected to stay empty until in the election.
But “other Republicans are angling to get out as soon as they can,” Fox News’ Chad Pergram reported. “A big payday in the private sector could lure some members to cash in their voting card early.”
Pergram reported that some House Republicans are “fed up” and “just exasperated.”
Southern strategy. You can connect the dots quite clearly from the hamstrung and incomplete post civil war reconstruction to where we are now. Unhung traitors really do destroy republics, sooner or later.
