"Representative Doug LaMalfa (R-CA) passed away on Tuesday, announced House GOP Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) in a statement. Malfa, who served in the House since 2012, represented California's 1st district, which is the most northwestern corner of the state. Jacquie and I are devastated about the sudden loss of our friend, Congressman Doug LaMalfa, Emmer announced. Doug was a loving father and husband, and staunch advocate for his constituents and rural America. Our prayers are with Doug's wife, Jill, and their children."
"Following Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's (R-GA) resignation on Monday, the House GOP majority now holds a small 218 to 213 majority over the Democrats, meaning the GOP can only lose two votes in the House. Rep. Jim Baird (R-IN) was also reported to have been hospitalized on Tuesday following a car accident. He is in stable condition. This is a developing story and will be updated."
