Republican Announces Abrupt Exit From Congress: ‘This Place Is Dysfunctional’ Colorado Rep. Ken Buck has announced he's leaving Congress next week. He didn't even tell leadership Colorado Rep. Ken Buck is abruptly leaving Congress, calling the institution a “dysfunctional” mess that has “devolved into this bickering and nonsense and not really doing the job for the American people.” Buck issued a statement through his office on Tuesday announcing that he will “depart Congress at the end of next week,” nearly eight months before his term is scheduled to end and just a few months after announcing he would not seek reelection in 2024. His departure narrows the already slim Republican majority in the House to just five seats: 218 to 213 with three vacancies, meaning the GOP can only lose two votes and still pass legislation Shortly after announcing his abrupt resignation, Buck appeared on CNN, where he told Dana Bash that he plans to leave Congress in order to pursue reform to the nation’s electoral system. “We’ve gotta find better candidates and bring America together,” he said. “Instead of having decorum, instead of operating in a professional manner, this place has just devolved into this bickering and nonsense and not really doing the job for the American people,” he added, noting that whether or not former President Donald Trump is the Republican nominee in November he this “our system is broken in how we chose candidates and I want to get involved in that process.” Buck has clashed with the majority of the Republican conference in recent months, notably for opposing his party’s launch of an impeachment inquiry into President Biden. In a September op-ed for The Washington Post, Buck criticized the inquiry as one that relied “on an imagined history.”
