House Republicans lost another member in Rep. Ken Buck, R-Colo., on Friday. Gallagher's departure on April 19 will leave Republicans with just one vote to spare on legislation.

@CoffeeAddict with MTG throwing in another speaker recall, and the majority down to only 217 now, I wonder if we're going to see the third Speaker fight this term.

At this point, nothing would surprise me with them.

Even if the dems were to somehow get Jeffries as speaker (through more republican defections) I don’t think there would be enough time to clean up the GOPs giant mess.

Might just be better for the dems to cut a deal with Johnson - save him from the Freedom Caucus in exchange for Ukraine Aid.

@CoffeeAddict yeah I agree its in Dems best interest to get a deal with Johnson assuming the GOP doesn't implode further. Ukraine Aid, allowing the Biden inquiry to end, some bipartisan border bill, a return to higher count needed to recall rule, and some sort of rest of year bipartisan budget keep the lights on bill would be great for everyone.
