"GOP Resignations Thin Majority as Trump Unleashes Easter Sunday Meltdown"

Former President Trump criticized GOP House members, including Rep. Mike Gallagher and former Rep. Ken Buck, for resigning, further thinning the Republican majority in the House. The departures have left the GOP with just a single-seat majority, making passing party-line votes more challenging. There is speculation that Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries could be named Speaker, as some Republicans are in revolt against Speaker Mike Johnson. Gallagher's resignation timing has drawn criticism, with some calling for his expulsion, but the effort has not gained support. Gallagher attributed his exit to the dysfunction of the GOP and the need for congressional service to be a temporary, rather than a lifelong, career.
