Republicans Worry They Could Lose the House—Before the Election

Republicans are in full panic mode as they face the very real possibility of losing control of the House before the upcoming election. And frankly, they have no one to blame but themselves. The fact that they ejected their own speaker over a bill to keep the government open speaks volumes about their dysfunction.

The current state of affairs within the Republican Party seems to be in shambles, with infighting and lack of cohesion prevalent. The recent departure of Buck highlights a growing trend of Republicans distancing themselves from the party, perhaps in a bid to preserve their integrity.… Continue reading
