The way of kevin mccarthy towards the mallet was quite laborious. After days of negotiations between the most conservative congressmen and some fifteen votes, the California Republican won the title of Speaker of the House of Representatives. Facing the 2024 electionone of the most important political organizations fully re-elect these legislators who were revealed in January.
It turns out that Club for Growthdedicated to electing Republicans who seek to lower taxes and balance the budget, among other things, is preparing a fund of 20 million dollars baptized as The Patriot 20in reference to the number of names that make it up.
david mcintoshthe group’s president, stated that “going public with our financial commitment can serve as an effective deterrent to some potential applicants,” while adding that “moderate donors and candidates looking to settle scores should save their money, because we are willing to win at all costs.”
Specifically, the objective of the group is to re-elect the five members of this group who are most important to Capitol Hill, Matt Gaetz (R-FL), andy biggs (R-AZ), Matt Rosendale (R-MT) and Lauren Boebert (R-CO).
In turn, they plan to go the extra mile for the three they consider most vulnerable at the polls, Boebert herself, Ana Paulina Luna (R-FL) and Scott Perry (R-PA). In the latter case, he will once again face his 2022 rival who comes with a thirst for revenge, Adam Frisch. As announced, it has already raised 2.6 million since February 2023.
According to McIntosh, these legislators are critical “to advance conservative priorities and establish a more transparent legislative process and responsible in the Chamber during the negotiations of the presidency in January”.
Currently, the Republicans hold a slim majority in the Lower House, 221 against 212 congressmen.
This maneuver by the Club for Growth points to the two elections that these legislators, primary and general. Each and every one of them is expected to have primary challengers trying to run them down the middle, though none have emerged strong enough to bother them yet.
As for the House Republican Leadership, personified by McCarthy and steve scalisedoes not plan to meddle in Republican primaries across the country.
