Don’t throw us away, Republican leaders are struggling.
While it is still uncertain that Republicans can win the House of Representatives elections, and it is unlikely that they will gain the majority, the competition in the Senate has become so intense that many predict the success of the Democrats.
In this situation, Kevin McCarthy, the Republican leader in the House of Representatives, has formed a special transition committee before the finalization of the remaining districts’ results, confidently expecting victory and dominance in the House of Representatives. But now his own future is at risk, as the extremist Trump loyalists, known as the Freedom Caucus, in the House of Representatives, are resisting McCarthy’s re-election as the party leader in the House.
Beyond McCarthy, one of the most anticipated developments that many expected has been Trump’s serious threat to the continuation of Mitch McConnell’s leadership as the Republican leader in the Senate. Trump has always been critical of and a serious enemy to McConnell, and in the past year, he has specifically subjected him to various insults and threats.
Now, a group of Republican senators are demanding the suspension of the process of determining the future leader, essentially the continuation of McConnell’s leadership in the Senate.
The most important reason for these developments must be attributed to Trump. Donald wants to quickly gain the official support of Republican elites by announcing his candidacy for the upcoming elections in order to quickly close the path for potential Republican rivals. He is using his representatives and allies in Congress to compel them to support his candidacy by threatening the positions of Republican elites.
That’s why these developments are happening.
