"House GOP Majority on Edge as Resignations Mount, TikTok Ban Looms"
The Republican majority in the House is on edge as a series of early resignations have left them with a slim 217-213 lead over Democrats. With the potential for further departures, there's concern that the GOP's majority could slip away, possibly leading to a historic mid-term flip in control. While the chances of Democrats taking over mid-Congress are relatively low, the GOP's minuscule majority makes mid-session departures more consequential. The upcoming special elections are unlikely to jeopardize the GOP majority, but internal party fractures and threats to House Speaker Mike Johnson's position add to the uncertainty.
