- A senior House Republican told Punchbowl News the White House team has treated members "like garbage," warning that "more explosive early resignations are coming."
- Republicans hold a 219–213 advantage, and upcoming special elections in Tennessee, Texas and New Jersey could further tighten the margin.
- The Tennessee race to replace Rep. Mark Green is drawing heavy spending and is rated likely Republican, while Democrats are favored in contests to fill vacancies in Houston and in New Jersey on April 16.
- GOP strategist Doug Heye and former Biden aide Meghan Hayes described Congress as a "bad workplace," citing MAGA pressure on members, with some Republicans cautioning that Speaker Mike Johnson’s hold on the gavel could be tested if the ranks thin further.
