The House of Representatives is experiencing a significant wave of early resignations among its Republican members, a phenomenon being referred to as the 'Great Resignation.' With Rep. Ken Buck's recent announcement and Rep. Gallagher planning to leave next month, a total of 6 members have left early. These exits have left the Republican Party with a precarious one-vote majority, complicating their ability to pass legislation. This series of resignations underscores the dissatisfaction and challenges faced by members within the current political environment of the House.

Wow. Another House R is choosing to retire early by next month. It gives Republicans only a ONE vote majority to pass anything through their ranks. Read @pkcapitol on the unprecedented "Great Resignation" we're witnessing (Rs really don't like it here!) https://t.co/JfN03WcdjT https://t.co/6nrUjTLe1w

I just wrote about the House's "Great Resignation," members who quitting midterm. With @RepKenBuck out today, that's 6 who left early. And now @RepGallagher says he's quitting, mid-term, next month. Can't overstate how awful the House is now. Members hate it. https://t.co/Wbc6YOntqy
