"Republican Rep. Ken Buck's Early Exit from Congress Deepens GOP Losses"

Republican Rep. Ken Buck of Colorado, who previously announced he would not seek re-election, has now revealed he will resign from Congress at the end of next week, further reducing the GOP's slim majority in the House. His departure will leave the House Republican margin at 218-213, making Speaker Mike Johnson's job more challenging. Buck, known for frequently defying his party, has faced backlash for breaking with Republicans on major issues, including the 2020 election and the impeachment of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas.

This comes as Congress faces critical issues, including funding the government and a pending emergency national security spending bill. The narrow majority increases the leverage of individual House Republicans and poses challenges for Speaker Mike Johnson in managing the party.
