Republican Wisconsin Congressman Mike Gallagher, a 38-ish Marine veteran who just a year ago was being recruited to run against incumbent Dem Senator Tammy Baldwin before he turned it down, tells the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel he will not seek reelection this year, just days after taking a ton of shit from MAGA for voting against impeaching DHS Secretary Alex Mayorkas.
By our count Gallagher is the 19th House Republican to fuck off from Congress – by either retiring outright, running for office back home, or in a Senate primary they have no realistic chance of winning – the exodus now clearly outpacing Democrats, 14 of whom are doing the same.
