A group of Republican lawmakers in the House of Representatives has introduced a resolution calling for Department of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg to resign over his handling of the East Palestine train derailment last month—as well as other transportation issues that have arisen under his leadership at the department.

On Tuesday, Rep. Mike Waltz (R-Fla.) introduced H.Res. 188 condemning Buttigieg. The resolution was co-sponsored by Reps. Claudia Tenney (R-N.Y.), Ryan Zinke (R-Mont.), Clay Higgins (R-La.), Greg Steube (R-Fla.), Mary Miller (R-Ill.), Bill Posey (R-Fla.), Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.), Mike Collins (R-Ga.), and George Santos (R-N.Y.).
