Two congressional resignations could shift power in U.S. House

The announced resignation of two members of Congress this week could affect the balance of power in the House of Representatives. California Democrat Eric Swalwell said he will leave Congress after facing sexual misconduct allegations. And a short time later on Monday evening, Republican Tony Gonzales of Texas announced his retirement after recently admitting to an affair with a staff member who later died by suicide. Given the razor-thin GOP majority in the House, the timing of the Swalwell and Gonzales departures and who wins the special elections could shift the balance of power.
