WASHINGTON — A political action committee that helps Republicans get elected to Congress is doing the unusual – spending more than $450,000 to defeat a GOP incumbent. That incumbent, conservative two-term Rep. Bob Good, R-Va., voted to remove former Rep. Kevin McCarthy as House speaker last fall. It’s just the latest example of how money […]
Rep. Matt Gaetz, who led the effort to throw out Speaker Kevin McCarthy, is facing a primary challenger likely recruited by Mr. McCarthy in his quest to take out the faction of eight House GOP lawmakers who voted to remove him more than six months ago.

Former House speaker Kevin McCarthy suggested Sunday that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene‘s threat to call for a vote on her motion to vacate Speaker Mike Johnson is all an act. “I don’t believe the motion will come up,” Mr. McCarthy, a California Republican who resigned from Congress last year months after being removed as speaker, […]
Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Friday said his successor’s struggles and the withering House Republican majority began when he was axed last year. Republicans started their majority in the House with a small majority in 2023, but even that’s been sanded down to two votes as lawmakers, including Mr. McCarthy, have escaped while blaming […]
If there’s one thing that Republican politics in the 21st century should have taught us all, it’s that RINOs never die.

Former President Donald Trump is beginning to focus on his running mate shortlist and has also picked out a few names for some key cabinet positions, a report claimed. As the presumptive Republican nominee, Trump is not waiting until the July 2024 Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to begin making personnel designs for a […]
Former House Speaker Pot returned to Capitol Hill Tuesday, carrying an important message: His GOP kettle rivals, the ones that drove him from office? Yeah, it turns out they’re all black. When I talk of former House Speaker Pot, I mean, of course, the now ex-congressman from California and once-upon-a-time House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who […]
A Montana-sized spat is raging after a consultant aligned with former President Donald Trump was removed from the list of speakers at a Republican Party event. Late last month Alex Bruesewitz was taken off the agenda, where he was to be the keynote speaker at a two-day series of party meetings, according to the Washington […]
When it comes to a fellow Republican who almost lunged at him last fall, Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida appears to prefer waving bye-bye rather than letting bygones be bygones. Gaetz will appear at a Feb. 16 rally as part of his effort to support a Republican challenger trying to unseat Republican Rep. Mike […]
