Some Republicans oppose Donald Trump's presidential bid, meaning they could resign from Congress.
Five more Republican representatives may join Ken Buck in resigning from the House of Representatives if they continue to be dissatisfied with the party's nominee for the presidential election, Donald Trump.On Tuesday, Buck, a Colorado congressman, suddenly resigned, leaving his seat vacant from next week and shrinking the Republican's slim majority in the House to 218 to 213. Previously, he had announced his intention to retire from Congress at the end of his current term.
In November, he told CNN that Trump 'failed to actually fully secure the border' amid concerns about a rising number of migrant encounters.There appears to be no love lost between the pair as Trump too has spoken out against Roy, calling him a 'RINO' on social media.But on Thursday, a Roy office spokesman told Newsweek: 'This speculation is unfounded. Congressman Roy has no plans to resign.'Larry Bucshon has also pilloried the former president.
