Yesterday

Rep. Kevin Kiley of California said Monday he was immediately leaving the Republican Party to become an independent.

"I'm also today asking the clerk of the U.S. House of Representatives to have that reflected in the official roster," Kiley said in a call with reporters.

———
217 to 214, three vacancies and 1 independent.
IMPEACHMENT is coming sooner than he thinks.
