Several House Republicans tell Punchbowl News they’re considering following Marjorie Taylor Greene in simply resigning before next year’s midterms, possibly enough to hand Dems the majority before the expected flip following the November elections, with one particularly pissed one writing the following in a text: “This entire White House team has treated ALL members like garbage. ALL.”
“And Mike Johnson has let it happen because he wanted it to happen. That is the sentiment of nearly all – appropriators, authorizers, hawks, doves, rank and file. The arrogance of this White House team is off putting to members who are run roughshod and threatened. They don’t even allow little wins like announcing small grants or even responding from agencies. Not even the high profile, the regular rank and file random members are more upset than ever. Members know they are going into the minority after the midterms. 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,” the unidentified member continued in the very ragey text.
