Rep. Mike Gallagher will resign, thinning an already-slim House Republican majority

Quick Glance: Republican Mike Gallagher to Resign Early, Impacting House Majority

Republican Rep. Mike Gallagher from Wisconsin, who previously announced he would not seek re-election, will resign from Congress early.

Gallagher's early resignation deals another blow to Speaker Mike Johnson and House Republicans who have faced struggles in governing and demonstrating stability during this Congress.

His decision to depart on April 19 also means there will not be a special election to fill his seat, following state law procedures for vacancies after the second Tuesday in April.

Gallagher, an Iraq war veteran and chairman of the committee investigating the Chinese Communist Party, has chosen to resign early despite his frustrations with his own party.

Quick Glance: "End of Politics": SPD Politician Michael Roth Bids Farewell to Political Career

Long-time SPD foreign policy expert Michael Roth is planning to retire from politics due to growing distance from the SPD and the political sphere.

Roth cites inner detachment from political affairs and the divergence of his views from those of his party, especially regarding the Ukraine conflict, as reasons for his decision.

He emphasizes the increasing harshness of the political landscape and the required stress resistance and mental strength demanded from top politicians in today's world.

Michael Roth, serving in the Bundestag since 1998, held positions as State Minister for Europe and Government Coordinator for German-French Cooperation, eventually becoming the Chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee in 2021.
