"GOP Majority on Edge as Rep. Gallagher's Resignation Sparks Speculation and Calls for Expulsion"

The Waupaca County Republican Party criticizes Congressman Mike Gallagher for resigning early, stating that no Marine would do so even in tough times, and urging him to resign immediately. Gallagher's resignation will not prompt a special election, and his seat will be filled in the general election as per Wisconsin law. His departure will leave Republicans with a slim majority in the House, posing challenges for party-line votes. Republican state senator Andre Jacque and former state senator Roger Roth are running for the vacant Wisconsin 8th Congressional District seat.

"Rep. Mike Gallagher's Early Resignation Tightens GOP House Majority"

Rep. Mike Gallagher, a Republican from Wisconsin, announced his resignation effective April 19, further narrowing the House GOP majority to just one vote. His departure will make it even harder for the party to pass legislation, with the seat likely to remain vacant until January. Gallagher's decision comes after he had already announced he would not seek reelection, citing family reasons and the challenging nature of congressional life. His resignation will have implications for the House GOP's ability to push through conservative legislation, as the majority margin continues to shrink.
