Happy Friday from Washington, where it’s still anyone’s guess how House Republicans’ leadership fight will end. On the podcast, our Samantha Aschieris consults a Heritage Action insider on the bright side of the ugly process. Virginia Allen covers President Biden’s belated speech on border security, and you’ll want to read Erin Dwinell’s fact checks. Plus: Katrina Trinko on protecting children from porn; Tom Jipping on a pro-life loss in South Carolina; Fred Lucas on Colorado’s courting of noncitizen voters; and Tyler O’Neil on the Gray Lady’s war against Orthodox Jews. On this date in 2001, after a long legal battle, Vice President Al Gore presides over a joint session of Congress that certifies his opponent, George W. Bush, as the winner of the 2000 presidential election.
