Trump and GOP are close (and getting closer) to losing House majority
(USA Today) President Donald Trump's small Republican voting majority in the House of Representatives is getting even smaller amid unexpected departures and a tragedy, further complicating their path for passing a GOP-focused agenda during an election year.
California GOP Rep. Doug LaMalfa died suddenly at 65 on Jan. 5 after suffering a medical emergency. His death, on the heels of Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's abrupt exit amid a public schism with Trump, brings the ratio of House Republicans to Democrats down to 218-213 (216 is the current number needed for a majority, given the amount of vacancies.)
In addition, Rep. Jim Baird, R-Indiana, was hospitalized this week alongside his wife following a car crash that Trump called a "bad accident." His office said he is expected to make a full recovery. Bairds temporary absence from the Capitol will complicate Speaker Mike Johnson's job of keeping Republicans in line amid a midterm election year when Democrats are trying to remain unified as they try to win back the House majority.
