    Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.) announced Friday
    he would resign from Congress before his term
    is up, shrinking the GOP’s already razor-thin
    majority in the House.

    Gallagher, a four-term lawmaker who is
    considered a rising star within the GOP,
    announced last month that he would not seek
    reelection. But Friday, he said he would leave
    the House on April 19.

    Gallagher’s departure will leave House
    Republicans with 217 members to Democrats’ 213,
    meaning Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) can
    afford to lose only one vote on any bill that
    doesn’t have Democratic support.
