HeadlineMar 25, 2024

In news from Capitol Hill, Republican Congressmember Mike Gallagher of Wisconsin has announced he will resign on April 19. His seat will remain vacant until November. This will cut the House Republican majority to a one-vote margin. In other House news, Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene filed a motion Friday to remove House Speaker Mike Johnson, just five months after he took the office after the ouster of Kevin McCarthy. In other political news, New Jersey first lady Tammy Murphy has dropped out of the Democratic primary race for Robert Menendez’s Senate seat, clearing the way for Congressmember Andy Kim who is also running against labor leader Patricia Campos-Medina and community organizer Larry Hamm. Sen. Menendez, who is facing multiple corruption charges, has announced he won’t run in the Democratic primary, but hasn’t ruled out running again as an independent if he is exonerated.
