Impact on House Republican Majority
- 📉 LaMalfa's death has shrunk the already slim Republican majority in the House of Representatives.
- ⚖️ Republicans now hold a two-seat majority, which is further complicated by the recent resignation of Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene.
- ⚠️ In reality, the effective majority is closer to one seat due to Congressman Thomas Massie's frequent opposition to GOP leadership.
- 🤝 House Republicans will need to be extremely unified to pass legislation until LaMalfa's seat is filled.
