A Republican congresswoman has said she will not run for re-election next year, claiming “DC is broken”.
Debbie Lesko, from Arizona, said in a statement that traveling to Washington each month had also proven difficult.
Lesko, an ardent supporter of Donald Trump, is a former school board member and state lawmaker.
That move, and Republicans’ subsequent inability to decide on a new Speaker, has left the House leaderless for the past two weeks, even as Congress faces a government funding deadline and a war has broken out in the middle east.
She has spent recent days posting on X that transgender people should have their access limited to sports.
After Scalise withdrew his name from contention, Lesko voted for Jim Jordan in his unsuccessful first ballot for speaker on Tuesday.
