Tony Gonzales (R-TX) endorsed by Trump, trails by 20% after suicide news

Watch Trump endorse the other guy and claim credit for his already - imminent victory.

It will not be his decision to demand the resignation because Mike Johnson KNOWS that if Gonzales leaves, his vote margin is non-existent. Johnson's hold on the House DIES.

Just my 2 cents worth.

sexual harassment. The article says he was demanding "sexy" photos from her and she was saying he was going "too far" and she didn't like doing that.
