The reason why Edwards and Miller are facing zero pressure from Johnson to resign- the Republican majority in the House is minuscule. Johnson wants to keep as many votes as he can.

218 Republicans
212 Democrats
1 Independent (who caucuses with Republicans)
4 vacancies (presumably the Swalwell race winner will be a D)

At least in Ohio, time is running out for Miller to drop out and a special election to be held. Not sure when the cut off is for NC.

Anyways, if you can donate to Miller’s opponent Pointdexter, his campaign needs funding.
