太好玩了。
Representative Ken Buck took to social media to announce his near-immediate leave from Congress, resigning so fast that even his party leaders were caught off guard by the decision.
“Today, I am announcing that I will depart Congress at the end of next week,” Buck said in a statement on Tuesday. “I look forward to staying involved in our political process, as well as spending more time in Colorado with my family.”
Republicans will have 218 seats to Democrats' 213 after Buck leaves, meaning the GOP can lose just two of their members on any given party-line vote.
The resignations of McCarthy and Rep. Bill Johnson (R-Ohio) — as well as the expulsion of Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) and the loss of his seat to Democrats — have led Republicans to this point.
A special election in April to replace Rep. Brian Higgins (D-N.Y.) will likely net Democrats another seat.
Republicans are then poised to win the May and June elections to replace McCarthy and Johnson, respectively. Colorado Gov. Jared Polis said he intends to set the special election to fill Buck's seat for June 25.

故意的、这样也能抓点注意力、让你们知道一下老子的重要性
波波特遇到大麻烦了。看来Buck提前退休就是针对她的。
Buck’s departure also has the potential effect of “short-circuiting” Rep. Lauren Boebert’s, R-Colo., bid to succeed him, The Associated Press reported. Boebert, who narrowly won re-election in her current district, is running this year in Buck’s district after he announced he wouldn’t seek re-election.
Now, a committee of Colorado Republicans must pick a nominee for a special election to serve out the rest of Buck’s term that will be held on the same day as the party primary for the district, according to the AP. That nominee is unlikely to be Boebert, who has no prior ties to the district and has drawn backlash for moving out of her tight district. That means there will only be one nominee on the special election ballot and that person could also be a candidate alongside Boebert on the primary ballot.

“By resigning early, Ken Buck is giving an advantage to anyone but Lauren Boebert,” tweeted former Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill. “She cannot run in the special election since she already occupies a seat, so another person will be elected to serve out the term, and it won’t be Lauren.”
Former House aide Aaron Fritschner explained that Boebert could run in the special election if she resigns her seat but that would create a new vacancy. “But if she doesn't run in the special she risks losing her chance to remain in Congress,” he added, noting that it’s a “big headache for House GOP leadership and their small majority.”
