Ken Buck Resigns from Congress, Citing Dysfunctional Environment

Former Rep. Ken Buck highlights Congress's inability to prioritize amid his departure, expressing no regrets.

Ken Buck, former Rep. for Colorado, officially resigned from Congress, criticizing its dysfunction and lack of priority setting.
Buck's resignation coincided with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's motion to oust Speaker Mike Johnson, which did not influence his decision.
Throughout his tenure, Buck was known for his conservative views but often broke from the GOP on key votes, including election denialism.
He criticized the GOP's focus on messaging bills over addressing serious issues like the situation in Ukraine and spiraling debt.
A special election to replace Buck is scheduled for June, following his departure and subsequent criticism of congressional priorities.
