California Rep. Kevin Kiley Leaves GOP to Sit as Independent

California Rep. Kevin Kiley announced he is leaving the Republican Party to become an independent, changing his registration to no party preference while saying he will continue to caucus with Republicans for administrative purposes. The move comes amid a tough reelection fight after redistricting, and it marginally shrinks Speaker Mike Johnson’s already narrow GOP majority, though Kiley’s continued caucusing with the party could limit any immediate impact. He indicated he will decide his caucus alignment for the next term based on constituents’ needs and has long opposed mid-decade redistricting.

In Ohio, North Carolina, and Oregon, Libertarian candidates received significant votes, potentially affecting GOP outcomes. Two super PACs, Voter Protection Project and Save Western Culture, spent heavily to support these third-party candidates, raising suspicions of Democratic involvement. While it's unclear how Libertarian votes would have otherwise been cast, the GOP argues these candidates cost them crucial seats.

GOP House Majority Faces Turmoil Amid Trump Influence and Leadership Challenges

House Speaker Mike Johnson's narrow Republican majority is threatened by members leaving for private-sector jobs, as the GOP's majority could become the smallest since the Great Depression. With a starting majority of 221-213, Johnson's power is tied to President-elect Trump, and maintaining it depends on convincing members to delay lucrative private-sector opportunities. The departure of lawmakers for better-paying jobs could further reduce the majority, complicating Johnson's efforts to push Trump's agenda.
