Longtime GOP rep retires after getting Trump’s 'complete and total endorsement'

Yet another Republican member of the House of Representatives is announcing his retirement ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, giving Democrats another chance to flip a GOP seat.

Politico reported Friday that Rep. Mark Amodei (R-Nev.) is leaving the House after serving for eight terms in Congress. According to the House of Representatives' official Casualty List, Amodei is the 31st Republican to decide against running for reelection this November.

Amodei's exit comes despite Trump giving him his "Complete and Total Endorsement for Re-Election" in a Truth Social post last November. Trump also declared that Amodei "WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN" and proclaimed he was "doing a fantastic job representing Nevada's 2nd Congressional District!"

"Thank you Mr. President!" Amodei responded.

According to Ballotpedia, Amodei's mostly rural district in northern Nevada is solidly red, and he easily won reelection in 2024 after defeating his unaffiliated opponent by nearly 20 points. He defeated his Democratic opponent in 2022 by 22 points, and won by 16 points in 2020.

Amodei's retirement announcement comes just days after longtime Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.) announced he was not seeking another term in the House. Loudermilk has held office since 2015, representing a suburban district north of Atlanta.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has just a four-seat majority in the current Congress, and Democrats are heavily favored to win back control of the House of Representatives this fall.

The post This U.S. politician’s suspicious stock trade just returned over 200% in weeks appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. United States Representative Cloe Fields has seen his stake in Opendoor Technologies (NASDAQ: OPEN) stock return over 200% in just a matter of weeks. According to congressional trade filings, the lawmaker purchased a stake in the online real estate company on July 21, 2025, investing between $1,001 and $15,000. At the time, the stock was trading around $2 and had been largely stagnant for months.

OPEN one-week stock price chart. Source: Finbold Assuming he invested a minimum of $1,001, the purchase would now be worth about $3,200, while a $15,000 stake would have grown to nearly $48,000, generating profits of roughly $2,200 and $33,000, respectively. OPEN’s stock rally Notably, Opendoor’s rally has been fueled by major corporate shifts and market speculation. For instance, in August, the company named former Shopify COO Kaz Nejatian as CEO, while co-founders Keith Rabois and Eric Wu rejoined the board, moves seen as a return to the company’s early innovative spirit.  Outgoing CEO Carrie Wheeler’s resignation and sale of millions in stock reinforced the sense of a new chapter. Beyond leadership changes, Opendoor’s surge has taken on meme-stock characteristics. In this case, retail investors piled in as shares climbed, while short sellers scrambled to cover, pushing prices higher.  However, the stock is still not without challenges, where its iBuying model is untested at scale, margins are thin, and debt tied to…
