Speaker Mike Johnson is kicking off a four-week sprint in session with one less reliable House GOP vote.
The House of Representatives is back in session for four weeks straight on Monday after a brief recess — and for House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., it will be the start of a legislative sprint with one less reliable House GOP vote. Rep. Mike Gallagher, R-Wis., who was regarded as a rising Republican star, shocked even some of his colleagues when he announced last month that he would leave Congress before the end of his term. The House announced his official departure on Friday.
Johnson's public remarks and even leadership decisions have reflected that he's keenly aware of the historically slim two-seat margin he's been dealing with. It's likely to get even smaller sometime over the next several weeks — at least for a time. The special election to replace retired Rep. Brian Higgins, D-N.Y., in New York's 26th Congressional District is Tuesday.
