Yet another House Republican has announced their departure from Congress in a fresh blow to President Donald Trump.
decided, the 62-year-old chairman of the House Committee on Transportation, withdrew his reelection bid in the red state’s sixth congressional district on Friday, further threatening the party’s already razor-thin majority.
“After considerable reflection, 2026 will be my final year in Congress,” he wrote in an X post. “This wasn’t an easy decision, but it’s the right one. I believe in making room for the next generation. It’s time to pass the torch and allow a new guard of conservative leaders to step forward and chart a path forward for Missourians.”
