Republicans Could Soon Lose Another House Seat To An Immediate Retirement

Republican women are tired of the way Speaker Mike Johnson treats them, and one of the Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) said she is thinking about following Marjorie Taylor Greene and immediately retiring.

Mike Johnson is very unpopular with House Republicans. Johnson’s decision to turn over the House majority has not gone over well with people who thought that they were coming to Congress to actually do something.

Johnson angered many of the members of the House GOP conference by closing the House and sending them home for eight weeks during the government shutdown. In hindsight, it is clear now that Democrats won the shutdown.

Republicans are still getting hammered on heathcare, and Johnson’s complete bungling of the shutdown is one of the triggers for what is a looming House Republican civil war.

In sports, there is a saying that winning fixes everything.

This is also true in politics.

Republicans winning the 2024 election papered over many problems, but now that the same party is facing a potential blue wave bloodbath in 2026, the old wounds are coming back to the surface, along with resentments about how Johnson has run the House.

The situation has become so dire that some Republicans are warning that Johnson and Republicans could lose their House majority before the 2026 midterm due to a wave of surprise, abrupt Republican incumbent retirements.

Thanks to some reporting, we now know who one of those House Republicans heading for the exits might be.

Rep. Nancy Mace is thinking about leaving in the next few weeks.
