A lot of Republican House members are heading home for Thanksgiving not knowing what the future holds. Will they still be in office come January 2027? If so, will they still be in the majority?
Will they even lose the majority before the midterms because so many members of their caucus are heading for the door?
That's the scuttlebutt that's been flying around ever since Marjorie Taylor Greene announced her January 5, 2026 resignation. GOP members of the House are fed up with Benedict Donald and the Trump staffers who have treated them "like garbage," one angry (and anonymous) Republican leader told Punchbowl News.
"The arrogance of this White House team is off-putting to members who are run roughshod and threatened," the House leader said. "More explosive early resignations are coming. It’s a tinderbox. Morale has never been lower. Mike Johnson will be stripped of his gavel and they will lose the majority before this term is out." Wow! Pretty brutal.
If Republicans do step down early (or decline to run again), the only question is their timing. Will the results of the special election in TN-07 on December 2 be scary enough to make them quit right away? Or will they wait until after the holidays, and blame their decision on the beatings they received from their angry constituents? (Reminder that thanks to Republican malfeasance and incompetence, health insurance costs are set to explode on January 1, so voter anger will only rise.)
Long story short, if you're planning to ask Santa for some schadenfreude for Christmas, you could be in luck. We cats PURR.
