Puck News reported that up to 20 Republicans in the U.S. House are expected to announce retirements in the coming weeks as their majority slips, according to an article shared by @PollTracker2024 on X at https://x.com/PollTracker2024/status/1997850638563320024 during the 59-minute reporting window ending at 3:15 AM UTC on Dec. 8, 2025. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee stated on X at https://x.com/dccc/status/1996735163158704133 that House Republicans are heading for the exits amid their microscopic majority, warning that the retirement wave continues with another Republican possibly citing time with family soon. This development follows Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's resignation from Congress, which she explained in a 60 Minutes interview earlier on Dec. 8 resulted from President Trump labeling her a traitor after she advocated for women raped at age 14, as reported in posts by @60Minutes before 12:45 AM UTC. Separately, Israeli President Isaac Herzog criticized New York City Mayor-elect Mamdani at the Yeshiva University Hanukkah Dinner in New York City on Dec. 7, stating Mamdani "makes no effort to conceal his contempt for the Jewish, democratic state of Israel," according to a post by @jacobkornbluh on X at https://x.com/jacobkornbluh/status/1997851487259762903 in the reporting window.
