At the same time, Gallagher said he would resign in April, further narrowing the House GOP\u2019s thin majority and creating a vacant position atop the China-focused panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Granger announced she would step down as the Republican appropriations leader shortly after the House voted 286-134 to pass the fiscal 2024 government funding package \u2014 including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/2024\/03\/21\/defense-spending-bill-has-some-ukraine-aid-multiyear-munitions-buys\/\" target=\"_blank\">the $825 billion defense spending bill<\/a> \u2014 nearly six months overdue. The Senate must still vote to pass the bill, with funding for the Defense Department and several other agencies to expire at midnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP_990613785385.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-77511\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP_990613785385.jpg.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/staging.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP_990613785385.jpg.jpg?resize=300,199 300w, https:\/\/staging.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP_990613785385.jpg.jpg?resize=768,510 768w, https:\/\/staging.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP_990613785385.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,680 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Rep.

As chairman of the China committee chairman, Gallagher championed policies to \u201carm Taiwan to the teeth\u201d to deter a possible Chinese invasion, while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/2023\/01\/10\/gop-pick-to-lead-house-china-committee-vows-to-win-new-cold-war\/\" target=\"_blank\">framing the Sino-U.S. rivalry as a \u201cnew Cold War.\u201d <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019ve worked closely with House Republican leadership on this timeline and look forward to seeing Speaker Johnson appoint a new chair to carry out the important mission of the Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party,\u201d Gallagher said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gallagher\u2019s early departure will reduce the embattled House Republican majority to a one-vote margin given the resignation of Rep. Ken Buck, R-Colo., on Friday. Buck announced his resignation date earlier in March. The Colorado special election to replace Buck is slated for June 25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As one of his last acts, Buck became the first \u2014 and so far only \u2014 Republican to sign a discharge petition that would force a House vote on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/2024\/02\/05\/new-aid-bill-for-ukraine-israel-taiwan-faces-uphill-battle\/\" target=\"_blank\">the $95 billion foreign aid bill for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan<\/a>, which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/2024\/02\/13\/senate-passes-ukraine-israel-taiwan-aid-amid-trump-fueled-opposition\/\" target=\"_blank\">the Senate passed 70-29 in February<\/a>. The discharge petition would need to gather 217 signatures for House lawmakers to force a vote on the package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Johnson has so far refused to put the bill on the floor amid opposition to Ukraine aid from former President Donald Trump and the right flank of his caucus. Traditional Republican defense hawks like Granger and Gallagher have found themselves increasingly sidelined in the House by<a
