Republican stuns donors with terminal diagnosis as GOP majority hangs by a thread

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) told a room full of Republican donors that their narrow majority in the House may be in serious jeopardy.

According to Jake Sharman at Punch Bowl News, Rep. Neal Dunn (R-Fla.) "may have a terminal diagnosis."

Multiple sources relayed the story to Sherman, who noted that the 73-year-old lawmaker said he would not run for reelection but would not leave before the end of his term.

The GOP has already lost Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), who quit at the beginning of the year.

There are several other lawmakers who've announced their retirements but have not yet left office, and others who are running for offices back home and intend to leave their seats at the end of the term.

Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas) is under heavy pressure to resign after an extramarital affair ended with the woman committing suicide. Her family is now speaking out against him. Gonzales very narrowly won his last election.

Gonzales said earlier this week that he would not resign and Johnson has indicated he has no intention of pushing Gonzales out.
