House Republicans have spent this week debating who should be the next Speaker of the House after a small group of extremists initiated the ousting of McCarthy last week. I’m here to tell you that the way things are going, no matter who Republicans end up choosing — we can expect we’re just going to get McCarthy 2.0, or even worse.
The current options for Speaker are a litany of extremists who support national bans on abortion, voted against certifying the results of the 2020 election, have ties to the KKK and neo-Nazi groups, and have damaged our democracy — deliberately.
And that’s all you need to know about the state of the Republican Party.
So again, if Republicans are interested in governing, I welcome them to join Democrats and vote for Hakeem Jeffries for Speaker of the House so we can get to work on passing legislation that helps the people who sent us here.
Meanwhile, I’m going to continue doing what the people of Massachusetts’ 7th district sent me here to do: advance policies that center marginalized communities, and fight back against legislation that intends to inflict harm.
If you’re able, please donate $8 or anything you can to resist Republican extremism and power our movement for a more just world.
I’ll keep you updated on what comes next.
Yours in service,
Ayanna
