Uni-party Congressman Ken Buck of Colorado, a GOP’er who’s regularly voted with Democrats and has vociferously opposed the MAGA movement, has become just the latest Republican legislator to announce his resignation from Congress. Buck’s departure further chips away at the GOP’s dwindling House majority that’s been deteriorated by a resignation wave, and a bipartisan campaign to expel former Republican Rep. George Santos, who’s since been replaced by a Democrat.
Rep. Ken Buck has announced that he’ll be leaving Washington in a matter of days, depriving his constituents of representation in DC instead of finishing out his term, which expires in less than a year. Buck’s departure shaves the GOP’s House majority down to just five seats, as the House Republican Caucus will now consist of just 218 members, compared to 213 for the Democrats.
As a result of Buck’s resignation, on any given party-line vote, if just three Republicans side with the Democrats (a regular occurrence in the House), Republicans will lose, despite holding a majority.
In a video statement announcing his decision, Buck blasted Republicans who’ve sought to secure elections after the rigging of 2020 and endorsed the persecution of American citizens related to J6.
“Too many Republican leaders are lying to Americans, claiming that the 2020 Election was stolen, describing January 6th as an unguided tour of the Capitol, and asserting that the ensuing prosecutions are a weaponization of our justice system,” Buck said parroting uni-party talking points regularly employed by swampy politicians.
“These insidious narratives breed widespread cynicism and erode American’s confidence in the rule of law,” Buck added, before calling the issues he rattled off “contrived.”

Buck’s resignation announcement makes him just the latest Republican to quit Congress, and he was proceeded in his DC departure by deposed ex-Speaker Kevin McCarthy of California and now-former Rep. Bill Johnson of Ohio, both of whom resigned in recent months.
As mentioned, Republicans also lost a seat when GOP legislators sided with Democrats to expel George Santos – who has since been replaced, by a Democrat.
What’s happening in Washington is obvious to many.
A group of Republicans, who’ve long been accused of working with Democrats to kill off conservative and America First legislation, are resigning in the months ahead of the 2024 Presidential Election and doing everything they can to hand Democrats a House majority.
If that happens, Democrats will be in control of the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives in the run-up to Election Day, and Hakeem Jeffries will likely be installed as the Speaker of the House, giving Democrats even more influence over the upcoming election, and potentially the certification of electoral votes.
As National File has previously reported, the GOP resignation wave comes after the party’s establishment deliberately botched the 2022 mid-terms, turning what they said would be a “red wave” into a mere pink trickle, as Kevin McCarthy and his NRCC political machine sabotaged America First candidates, dumping money linked to the corrupt FTX crypto exchange into establishment primary campaigns, and into weak Republicans who lost big to Democrats.
Money from FTX was used by Kevin McCarthy and his Congressional Leadership Fund (CLF) political machine to crush conservative candidates in the 2022 midterms, protecting McCarthy’s influence in DC.
Much like McCarthy’s Congressional Leadership Fund (CLF), from which corrupt FTX money flowed into anti-MAGA attack ads and the pockets of GOP establishment campaigns, the NRCC was used during the 2022 midterms to enforce compliance with the McCarthy establishment agenda.
Candidates deemed too conservative, or too disruptive to McCarthy’s quest for power, were left out in the cold by the NRCC.
