House GOP Leaders Ask Tony Gonzales to Withdraw From Reelection Race

House Republican leaders, including Speaker Mike Johnson, asked Rep. Tony Gonzales to leave his reelection race after he acknowledged an affair with a staffer and the House Ethics Committee opened an investigation into his conduct.

Left-leaning outlets frame the request amid ethics scrutiny and note Gonzales said he would not suspend his campaign. Center outlets likewise focus on the withdrawal call after the affair admission and ethics inquiry, often adding his response or race details. Right-leaning outlets also center the call and inquiry, but some use sharper scandal-related language.
