U.S. Representative Tony Gonzales of Texas is facing increased calls for his resignation from fellow Republicans, including Representatives Thomas Massie and Tim Burchett, following allegations of an extramarital affair with a former aide who died by suicide. Despite these pressures and an upcoming primary challenge, Gonzales insists he will not resign. Notably, former President Donald Trump publicly acknowledged and congratulated Gonzales at a Corpus Christi event on Friday, signaling continued support. Other Republicans, like Representative Troy Nehls, argue that Gonzales' resignation would be detrimental to the party's slim House majority, making him "untouchable" in the eyes of many GOP lawmakers. The scandal involves allegations of an affair with former aide Regina Santos-Aviles, with new details emerging from text messages, though Gonzales denies wrongdoing and has accused his primary rival and Santos-Aviles' husband of blackmail.
