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.
Buck did not elaborate on who might be next to depart Congress, but there are a few Republicans who have publicly voiced negative opinions about Trump and could potentially be next out of the door.
One is David Valadao, but a spokesperson for the Congressman confirmed to Newsweek that he has no plans to resign and is actively running for reelection in the 22nd district.
In a January interview with Fox News he accused Trump of “bullying tactics” in securing endorsements from Republicans who are scared of opposing him.
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” (Republican in name only) on social media.
