John, here’s a quick rundown of what’s happening on Capitol Hill:
– House Democrats remained united behind our leader, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, while GOP Rep. Kevin McCarthy failed to garner support for House speaker three times and counting. For the first time in decades, the vote for House speaker has gone into multiple rounds.
– GOP members holding out against McCarthy are asking for guarantees on extreme legislation. A leader of these holdouts, Rep. Matt Gaetz, said he’d rather have a Democratic speaker than let McCarthy win without getting his demands.
– Just hours into the 118th Congress, the GOP has already shown its inability to lead and the willingness of its members to halt our work in the House for extreme demands at the expense of the American people.
While the GOP is busy squabbling to agree on a leader, House Democrats remain united and ready to continue making progress. No matter who the GOP puts in charge, we’re ready to ensure Democrats stay committed to the important work of implementing critical legislation from 2022.
As we kick off the 118th Congress, will you help show Shontel Brown and her Democratic colleagues in the House that you have their back by chipping in $5 today? Your support now will help solidify our ability to lead, despite the GOP’s setbacks.
