"Republican Resignations Shake Party: Buck's Early Retirement and Johnson's Surprise"

Colorado House Republican Ken Buck has announced his resignation, hinting that more Republican resignations may follow, further reducing the party's majority in the House of Representatives. Buck's departure will trigger a special election for his seat, posing a challenge for fellow Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert, who was seeking to replace him. Buck cited dysfunction in Congress and a desire to get involved in the candidate selection process as reasons for his resignation, while his move has surprised and concerned some within the party.
