GOP Majority in House Further Diminished to 2 Votes After Ohio Resignation, Complicating Legislative Path
• House GOP majority will shrink to just 2 votes with Rep. Bill Johnson's (R-Ohio) resignation on Jan. 21 • Leaves House with 219 Republicans, 213 Democrats, 3 vacancies • Razor-thin majority could complicate path for legislation and funding ahead of Jan. 19 and Feb. 2 deadlines • Upcoming special election on Feb. 13 to replace Rep. George Santos labeled a "toss up" by Cook Political Report • Rep. Brian Higgins (D-N.Y.) also expected to resign in February, which would be welcome news for House Republicans
