The House GOP's majority is under threat following Kevin McCarthy's resignation, effective at the end of the year, and the conviction of a New York man running for George Santos's old seat over Jan. 6 riot charges. The New York Democratic Party has chosen former Rep. Tom Suozzi as their candidate for the seat. McCarthy's comments about the Republican party resembling 'the most restrictive country club in America' have sparked controversy. The GOP is left with a 2 vote majority, and the House Ethics Committee is investigating Matt Gaetz.

Hearing that a really big expose on @mattgaetz is coming out in the next 2 weeks. It was described to me as being “worse than what they have on Santos.” Source tells me people are really unhappy with the shrinking GOP majority in Congress and many are now directly blaming Gaetz.
