Democrats are guaranteed of winning the Special Election in Texas in January (both candidates are Ds in a runoff). MTG is resigning at the beginning of January, making it 218 to 214 (until a Special election fills her seat). Dems should easily win the special election for Mikie Sherrill's set in NJ (which she just resigned to take over as Governor) which is scheduled for April. That would put the margin at 218 to 215. If they could pull off the Tennessee upset, that could reduce the margin to 2 (218 - 216) by April.

Has anyone besides MTG announced an early resignation rather than just choosing not to run for reelection?
