Be interesting to see how many more depart the MAGA party.

Republican House member Rep. Ken Buck just announced that he is resigning his seat effective March 22, effectively reducing the already razor-slim GOP margin in the House again.Rep. Buck (R-CO) has not made a secret of his disappointment with the direction his own party has taken, especially the lies.“But really we’re at a time in American politics, that I am not going to lie on behalf of my presidential candidate, on behalf of my party. And I’m very sad that others in my party have taken the position that, as long as we get the White House, it doesn’t really matter what we say,” Buck said.


Ken Buck represents CO-4; Lauren Boebert, who represents CO-3, is running to replace him. If Boebert wins a special election to replace Buck she'll have to resign CO-3, creating a new vacancy. But if she doesn't run in the special she risks losing her chance to remain in Congress
