Wouldn't that be the best history ever?
Speaker Jefferies mid term.
C'mon wingnuts, you can do it!

Three reasons Republicans could lose their House majority before 2024
With Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) announcing he will retire at the end of the year, Rep. George Santos’s (R-NY) expulsion, and Rep. Bill Johnson (R-OH) leaving for another role, House Republicans could lose their majority before 2024.
House Republicans hold a razor-thin four-seat majority, but that number will drop to two going into the new year. The margin for error for House Republicans is essentially invisible.
Kevin McCarthy
The House is at 221-213 with Santos’s seat vacant, and the departures of McCarthy and Johnson will leave Republicans with only three votes they can afford to lose....
"No matter the odds, or personal cost, we did the right thing," McCarthy wrote in a Wall Street Journal op-ed about his time in Congress. "That may seem out of fashion in Washington these days, but delivering results for the American people is still celebrated across the country." ...
What "results"? :headscratch:
George Santos
After the expulsion of Santos on Friday, Republicans have to maintain their majority through another special election before the general election in 2024....
Historically Dem seat with Santos' narrow election a surprise, guaranteed that a Dem wins the special election and 2024 general.
Bill Johnson
Johnson announced he will not seek reelection in 2024 after accepting a job offer to become president of Youngstown State University. He will serve in Congress for several more months before starting his new role....
Those poor students, profs and staff

Johnson is a crappy MAGAt rep and the district is solid red:

The seat is not going to flip :thumbdown: , but the article doesn't say how long it might be vacant, and if and when there will be a special election.
Idk about an ouster of the new SINO, but on any given vote all it will take is for a couple of disgruntled and/or patriotic Repubs to join the Dems to the nation's benefit.
