Kevin McCarthy's House Resignation Becomes Official

Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy's (R-CA, 20th District) Resignation became official Sunday, on the last day of 2023, leaving the House Republicans with and even more difficult Razor-Thin Majority to traverse in 2024.

Rep. Mike Johnson (D-LA, 4th District) after multiple Votes, became Speaker on the last Vote.

Then the House Expelled Rep. George Santos (R-NY, 3rd District), on Friday, December 1st, 2023, after the House Ethics Committee released a Report that alleged All of Santos's Crimes.

Johnson will grapple with an even Smaller Majority than McCarthy did, that now leaves the ratio at 220 Republicans to 213 Democrats.

In the case of Partisan Votes going forward, Republicans will only be able to afford to Lose the Support of Three Members.

And with the laddered continuing Resolution approach taken by the New Speaker, which pushed Key Appropriations Deadlines into the early days of 2024, such a Tight margin for Victory could become His Downfall.

New York Special Election

The Special Election for New York’s 3rd Congressional District is scheduled to be held on February 13th, 2024. Under New York Law, the Party's pick their Special Election Candidates.

The Democratic Nominee for the Special Election is Tom Suozzi, who Represented this District in the House, from 2017 to 2023. He resigned to run for Governor, but lost.

The Republican Nominee is Mazi Melesa Pilip, who is a Nassau County Legislator, and was Registered Democrate, before switching Parties. The Election is expected to be Competitive and Expensive for both Parties.

This was Santos' last year. So there will be a Primary and General Election in 2024, to decide who will Represent the 3rd District in 2025.
