Are more high-profile resignations from Congress coming?

On the heels of Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s resignation from her Georgia-held seat, a new report has suggested that morale in the House of Representatives is less than stellar, and that more resignations may be on the way.
In reporting from Punchbowl News, founder Jake Sherman revealed that one anonymous senior House Republican told the outlet, “More explosive early resignations are coming. It’s a tinder box. Morale has never been lower. Mike Johnson will be stripped of his gavel and they will lose the majority before this term is out.”
This unidentified House member said rank-and-file members were allegedly “more upset than ever” in their dealings with the White House recently, and they expect to become the minority next year.
Rep. Greene responded to this specific report on X, explaining, “Myself and many of my colleagues came courageously roaring into 2025 with legislation that matched the 2024 electoral mandate only to be totally sidelined by Johnson under full obedience of the WH.”
She decried the temporary nature of executive orders from the White House and emphasized the importance of focusing on key domestic issues.
Rep. Greene continued, “Now that House members are switching gears into campaign mode and will be fighting for their lives, our legislative majority has been mostly wasted. Our best shot was the first 6-9 months. And when Republicans likely lose the midterms it will become total and complete political war and gridlock once again.”
This comes amid what some perceive as a spirit of disunity within the GOP as 2025 ends, following a long Democrat-led 43-day government shutdown that finally ended earlier this month.
The possibility of a thinner Republican majority in 2026 is disheartening for conservatives. Currently, the Party breakdown stands at 219 Republicans to 213 Democrats, with three current vacancies. Rep. Greene’s departure will reduce the Republican majority to just five seats.
Typically, at least 218 votes are needed to pass legislation in the House, which represents a simple majority.
