The Republican majority in the U.S. House of Representatives may temporarily decrease to 217 seats due to several GOP members possibly leaving to join President-elect Donald Trump's administration. This potential drop below the 218 votes needed to pass legislation could complicate the GOP's ability to advance their agenda. The anticipated departures include Matt Gaetz, Mike Waltz, and Elise Stefanik, with their roles ranging from attorney general to national security adviser and U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. With a slim majority, Republican leadership will need to ensure strict party unity and full attendance during votes to avoid legislative standstills against a near-equal Democratic opposition. This situation requires meticulous vote management and could lead to extended negotiations and voting sessions in the House.
