WASHINGTON — Rep. Mike Gallagher, R-Wis., who announced last month he would not run for re-election, plans to resign from Congress early, according to two sources familiar with his decision.

Gallagher’s departure before the end of his term in January is another blow to Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and House Republicans, who have been struggling to govern and demonstrate stability this Congress.

Neither Gallagher nor his office responded to a request for comment. It wasn’t immediately clear when he plans to step down.
