If he's angry enough to resign, I'd rather he stick around for a full term. Poor attendance and being less likely to toe the line for tough votes is worth more to us than a few months of the seat being empty followed by a replacement that is probably a republican even in an environment that starts to tilt towards us.
Not likely, of course, but I would love to see Mike Turner declare himself an Independent and caucus with the House Democrats.
He just rocketed up my retirement watch
An early retirement with resignation would be even better.
might be a real thing Turner just got removed from the committee completely https://x.com/jamiedupree/status/1879982755750232151
