Friend,
It's no secret that the Republican party is in chaos. After 6 votes
and 3 days, Republicans have still failed to elect a speaker — and
there's no clear path forward.
This implosion across the aisle is important for
several reasons.
First, without a speaker, nothing can move forward. We can't swear
in representatives. We can’t review classified documents, hold
Committee hearings, or conduct oversight. We can't do anything.
Second, it's an ominous sign about the next two years. If
Republicans can't even elect a leader, what else might they fail to
accomplish?
Third, it's a sign that MAGA Republicans are willing to sabotage
their own party to get their way. What else may be at risk?
But despite all that, this could be so much worse. During a
Presidential election year, the House must certify the results, which,
you guessed it, we can't do without a Speaker. So
we need to start organizing now to regain control of the House in
2024. Will you do your part?
DONATE
The last two days have shown that Republicans
aren't fit to lead and that our democracy isn't safe in their hands.
Democrats came into the session with our leadership settled, and we're
ready to work.
Just
like we will in 2024 when we have the majority.
Best,
Ted
