Don Bacon Almost Quits Because Trump’s 'Surrender Plan' Is Too Saucy

KEY POINTS

•Rep. Don Bacon called Trump’s 28-point Russia-Ukraine peace plan outrageously bad and considered resigning in protest.
•The plan would recognize some Ukrainian regions as Russian, cap Ukraine's military, and forbid NATO membership.
•Bacon shared his anger with House Speaker Mike Johnson but chose to finish his term until 2027.
•Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene’s surprise January resignation and Bacon’s threat endanger the narrow 219-213 GOP House majority.

Rep. Don Bacon, Nebraska's centrist hawk and officially the angriest man you didn’t know about last week, flirted with quitting Congress because of Trump’s 28-point Russia-Ukraine peace plan—aka the 'Witkoff Ukrainian surrender plan' (named after Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff, definitely not the kind of nickname you want). The plan demands Ukraine accept Russia’s land grabs, limit its military, and swear off ever joining NATO, making Bacon so livid he almost resigned early, threatening to tank the already razor-thin 219-213 Republican House majority. Bonus spicy chaos points: Marjorie 'Plot Twist' Taylor Greene also announced a surprise January resignation, leaving Republicans sweating more than a breaking TikTok trend.

When your own party’s ‘peace plan’ sounds like a surrender letter written by a drunken envoy, it’s not surprising a GOP rep almost drops the mic on Congress.
