This is the news that MAGA Mike and Donald Trump feared the most, and we've been calling it here on the Midas Touch Network.
Ben Meiselas 1:43
It seems that there are numerous other MAGA Republican Congress members who are getting ready to resign, and in dramatic fashion, according to new reporting from Punchbowl News, which focuses their coverage on the happenings in the House of Representatives. Now, you'll recall that over the weekend, we reported first on the Midas Touch Network that we were hearing that more GOP House members were likely going to be resigning after Marjorie Taylor Greene resigned on Friday. And I went through the analysis that with the upcoming election, special election in Tennessee's seventh congressional district, where it's possible, it's going to be tough, but it's possible that the Democrats could pick up a seat there.
Ben Meiselas 2:30
And based on other special elections, if there was just another two potential resignations of MAGA Republicans, the House could flip. and MAGA Mike Johnson could lose his speakership, and the Democrats could gain control of the House of Representatives even before the midterms. That's even looking more likely than I expected. I still don't want to inject hopium into your veins yet, so I want to be very circumspect. But what we are hearing is that our reporting has been confirmed by this Punchbowl News report, and they have great sources on the Hill. So let's talk about what they're reporting. Again, here was the video that we posted over the weekend. You can see it right there. It's got about 800,000 views.
Ben Meiselas 3:16
So Jake Sherman runs Punchbowl, one of their top reporters also, says the following. A few other GOP members messaged us, meaning Punchbowl, over the weekend saying that they too are considering retiring in the middle of the term. Here's one particularly exercised senior House Republican. So this is a senior House Republican Congress member saying the following. This entire White House team has treated all members like garbage, all. and Mike Johnson has let it happen because he wanted it to happen. That is the sentiment of nearly all appropriators, authorizers, hawks, doves, rank and file, meaning all of the Republican Congress members, regardless of kind of what their specific viewpoint they're known for is.
Ben Meiselas 4:09
The arrogance of this White House, these Republican Congress members are saying on background. The arrogance of this White House team is off-putting to members who are run roughshod and threatened. They don't even allow a little wins like announcing small grants or even responding from agencies. Not even the high profile, the regular rank and file random members are more upset than ever. Members know they are going into the minority after the midterms. More explosive early resignations are coming. It is a tinderbox. Morale has never been lower. Mike Johnson will be stripped of his gavel and they will lose the majority before this term is out. Now, go back to the report that I did over the weekend on Saturday.
Ben Meiselas 4:58
And for those who were saying, oh, Ben, you're being hyperbolic and this and that. This is a senior Republican Congress member source telling this to Punchbowl that exclusively reports on the happenings in the House of Representatives. Then Jake Sherman said the following. Since this ran this morning, what I just read for you four hours ago, I've gotten countless text messages from House Republicans.
