Congresswoman Victoria Spartz (R-IN) has left House committees to focus on the newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. Her decision, allegedly spurred by a lack of committee assignment, could jeopardize the already slim Republican majority in the House, as other GOP members are being tapped for positions in a potential Trump cabinet.
The Republican 's wafer-thin majority in the House of Representatives is facing growing uncertainty as GOP members of Congress line up for Donald Trump 's Cabinet . Congresswoman Victoria Spartz , an Indiana Republican , announced on Monday that she would no longer sit on committees or participate in the caucus so she could dedicate more time to the newly created Department of Government Efficiency ( DOGE ), headed up by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy.
'I will stay as a registered Republican but will not sit on committees or participate in the caucus until I see that Republican leadership in Congress is governing. I do not need to be involved in circuses. I would rather spend more of my time helping @DOGE and @RepThomasMassie to save our Republic, as was mandated by the American people,' she said in a post on X. In another post, Spartz added, '@realDonaldTrump, @elonmusk and @VivekGRamaswamy are our only hope to drain the swamp through reconciliation, and we can come up with more than $2T to fully offset tax cuts. The swamp is very deep, @DOGE!' While some Republicans were confused by Spartz's decision on Monday, it allegedly came in response to the House GOP Steering Committee not giving her a sought-after post on the House Ways and Means Committee, sources told Politico. Newsweek has contacted Congresswoman Spartz for confirmation via email. Spartz's decision could throw the slim Republican majority in the House into peril amid other GOP members of the House being tapped to serve in Trump's Cabinet. These include Matt Gaetz, who has already resigned after being tapped for the role of attorney general, a position he later withdrew from. Meanwhile, Representatives Mike Waltz of Florida and Elise Stefanik of New York are in line for national security adviser and U.S. ambassador to the United Nations respectively. Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer of Oregon has also been nominated to serve as Labor Secretary
