"Early GOP Resignations Spark Trump's Fiery Attack on 'Cowards and Weaklings'"

Former President Donald Trump criticized Republican lawmaker Mike Gallagher's decision to retire early from the House, adding to the exodus of departing members that is shrinking the GOP majority. Gallagher's resignation, despite House leadership's urging to stay, comes amid a series of departures from both parties, further weakening the Republicans' ability to advance party-line issues. With the House already having a narrow GOP majority, Gallagher's early retirement will leave a fifth vacancy, impacting the chamber's dynamics.
