Republicans, boost, threats, Roundup, thirdparty0 comment

WASHINGTON, D.C. – MAGA Republicans are willing to do and spend whatever it takes to reelect Donald Trump in November—and that includes helping third-party spoilers like RFK Jr., Cornel West, and Jill Stein.  Earlier this week, USA Today reported that Trump’s biggest donor, Timothy Mellon, has also been boosting RFK Jr.’s campaign with millions in contributions. Since 2023, he has given $ 50 million to PACs supporting both RFK Jr. and Trump. Trump’s allies have been plotting to turn the election against President Biden by backing third-party spoiler candidates, and…

Last month, the House expelled one of its own, George Santos, for only the sixth time. The rest of the year wasn’t any more productive. Thanks in part to Republican discord, the House passed fewer bills that became laws than…

The Republicans Have No Majority

Majority, Republicans0 comment

Mike Johnson now knows what Kevin McCarthy was dealing with. At the new speaker’s behest, House Republicans today relied on Democratic votes to avert a government shutdown by passing legislation that contains neither budget cuts nor conservative policy priorities. The bill was a near replica of the funding measure that McCarthy pushed through the House earlier this fall—a supposed surrender to Democrats that prompted hard-liners in his party to toss him from the speakership. Johnson is unlikely to suffer the same fate, at least not yet. But today’s vote laid…

The Election Reform That Could Help Republicans in a Swing State

When Governor Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania announced in September that the nation’s largest swing state would implement automatic voter registration, Donald Trump threw a conniption. “Pennsylvania is at it again!” the former president posted on Truth Social, his social-media platform. The switch, Trump said, would be “a disaster for the Election of Republicans, including your favorite President, ME!” Trump’s panic is consistent with his (baseless) view that any reforms designed to increase voter turnout, such as expanding mail balloting and early voting, are part of a Democratic conspiracy to rig…
