This move puts the House GOP majority in a precarious position, now holding a slim lead of 218-213.

Buck’s resignation has stirred speculation and concern among his fellow Republicans, with Rep. Pat Fallon from Texas labeling it as “alarming” and “disturbing.” The abrupt exit of a seasoned lawmaker like Buck has left many wondering about the motives behind his departure and the impact it will have on the conservative agenda in Congress.

His absence will be keenly felt by those who champion his unwavering commitment to conservative principles in the hallowed halls of Congress.
In these uncertain times, with the balance of power hanging by a thread, conservatives must rally together and stand firm in the face of challenges. Ken Buck may be leaving Congress, but his legacy of principled conservatism will endure, serving as a guiding light for future generations of conservative leaders to uphold and defend.
