The Republican Majority Continues To Shrink.
GOP Congressman to Resign, Further Narrowing Slim Republican House Majority Rep. Bill Johnson, who has been in Congress since 2011, is leaving Jan. 21 to become president of Youngstown State University. – Epoch Times
Lawsuit seeks to remove Scott Perry from Pennsylvania ballot using 14th amendment Democrats are using lawfare to chip away at the GOP’s 1 seat majority so Dems can take back control of the House before the 2024 election, and push for contingent election-
This resignation coincides with Congress’s two government funding deadlines, set by a continuing resolution (CR) passed late last year. According to this resolution, an agreement must be reached by January 19 for certain agencies and by February 2 for others.
The impending departure of Johnson will leave the Republicans with a slim two-seat margin, a fragile situation that won’t endure for long. In November, Representative Brian Higgins, a Democrat from New York, announced his intention to leave Congress in February. Despite attempts to obtain an exact resignation date from Higgins’ office, none has been offered as of yet.

If Higgins remains in office beyond the first two days of February, House Republicans will find themselves with limited room for maneuvering in bipartisan negotiations to avert a government shutdown. The resignation of former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, effective December 31, had already diminished the GOP’s majority to a mere three seats just days before Johnson’s announcement.
WTAF is wrong with these jack-holes in the GOP??? FFS! Here’s my take on this – if you walk away from your job in Congress before the end of your term and you erode the Republican majority in the House, you better be deathbed sick or you should be shunned for life. You asinine cucks would walk away and give Biden free rein for a f’ing year to destroy America MORE than he’s already doing? GFY, you should expect to be shunned and not be able to walk down your own street. F-you, Johnson. – Morgana Le faye
While some House Republicans downplayed the significance of these developments in late December, others expressed greater concern. Blake Moore, the GOP Conference Vice Chair from Utah, commented that their situation, with both Johnson and McCarthy leaving, wouldn’t be much different from the four-seat majority they had been working with for most of 2023.

Operating with a slim majority, whether four seats or two, presents challenges, according to Moore, emphasizing the need for judicious decision-making. In contrast, Representative Mike Garcia from California expressed a more cautious outlook, stating, “Between God, gravity, indictments, and retirements, we’re one day away from losing the majority, depending on what happens.”

The upcoming government funding deal will necessitate bipartisan cooperation, with House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican from Louisiana, collaborating with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a Democrat from New York, to establish a top-line figure. Johnson may not be the Speaker for long if he does not hold the line against the Democrat plan to bankrupt the nation. Take a look at the Debt Clock – and you will notice this debt must be serviced. Next year the new tab Democrats and RINOS have created for illegals alone is over 451 billion according to Congress. What this means is we will not be able to pay the debt without printing massive amounts of dollars. Further eroding the dollar and hurting the American people. Prices of items will skyrocket, taxes must be raised, further taking away from the people. This is all part of the Democrat plan to topple America, and the Republicans are thus far doing nothing to stop it.
Addressing reporters on Wednesday, Schumer expressed hope for a timely bipartisan deal to prevent a shutdown. “We’re getting quite close,” said the New York Democrat. “I’m hopeful that we can get a budget agreement soon, and I’m hopeful that we could avoid a shutdown, given the progress we’ve made. That is certainly not out of the question, as some people have said it would be.” Sure, Chucky. We believe you.
Major Points Discussed:
- The Democrat plan to bankrupt America is in full force, and Republicans are helping them.
- House Republicans’ majority faces a precarious situation, dwindling to just two seats due to the resignation of Representative Bill Johnson, who will step down to become the president of Youngstown State University.
- The impending departure of Johnson coincides with two government funding deadlines set by a continuing resolution (CR) passed late last year: January 19 for certain agencies and February 2 for others.
- The slim two-seat margin will be short-lived, as Representative Brian Higgins, a Democrat from New York, announced his intention to leave Congress in February, potentially further restricting the GOP’s ability to navigate bipartisan negotiations.
- Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s resignation at the end of December reduced the Republican majority to three seats, setting the stage for a challenging political landscape just before Johnson’s announcement.
- The reduced majority complicates the Republicans’ efforts to advocate for conservative policies, particularly in negotiations for the upcoming government funding deal. The need for bipartisan cooperation becomes crucial as House Speaker Mike Johnson collaborates with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to establish a top-line figure. If he plays along, he helps destroy this nation and will bring about our economic destruction.
