Rep. Greene Urges Speaker to Expel Rep. Gallagher so Early Election Can Be Held

The Wisconsin congressman plans to leave on April 19, reducing the GOP’s slim majority. State law requires resignation by April 9 to stage a special election.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) is urging House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) to more rapidly drive Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.) out of Congress so that his district can select a replacement to finish out his term.

Mr. Gallagher announced last month that he wouldn’t seek reelection in 2024. On March 22, he indicated that he wouldn’t finish his term and would officially step down on April 19.
