"Almost resigned" is a long way away from "resigned," which would require a good deal more from Don Bacon, who announced months ago he won't seek reelection. However, he did say "he's interested in serving in an executive role down the road, and wouldn't rule out running for Nebraska governor, or even president in 2028" (bacon.house.gov). Hahahahahahaha.

Witkoff, a property developer and longtime Trump associate, played a pivotal role in shaping the White House's current Ukraine peace proposal, as well as the ceasefire deal between Israel and Gaza.
Late in October, Witkoff met with Kremlin envoy Kirill Dmitriev, an economic adviser to Russian President Vladimir Putin, in Florida to discuss and begin drafting an agreement that would prioritize Russian interests.
In a conversation reviewed by Bloomberg, Witkoff is heard telling Yuri Ushakov, Putin's most senior foreign-policy adviser, "We put a 20-point Trump plan together that was 20 points for peace, and I'm thinking maybe we do the same thing with you."
In another conversation on October 29, Dmitriev told Ushakov that he could "talk later with Steve" about a paper.
