GOP lawmakers returning from their Doral retreat are voicing deep frustration about the party’s lack of accomplishments and are divided over how to spend their remaining time in power.
House Republican leaders are publicly projecting confidence about their chances of holding the majority in the midterms. Privately, many of their members sound far less certain.
Gathered this week at a Trump-owned resort in Doral, Florida, to coordinate strategy for the rest of the legislative year and the looming campaign season, Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., struck an upbeat tone, telling reporters, “Do not bet against the House Republicans” as they try to maintain their narrow edge in the chamber.
But beneath the public optimism, there is deep frustration — and, in some cases, outright pessimism — simmering inside Johnson’s conference.
“No one thinks we’re keeping the majority except for the speaker,” one House Republican, who requested anonymity to discuss the internal sentiment, told MS NOW.
Once again, this feels a lot similar to the runup to the 2024 election. Dozens of articles all saying “Republicans are nervous! Democrats are practically guaranteed victory! Lots of people are saying this!” Right before getting utterly defeated.
Do not rely on hopium, treat this election like an uphill battle because it absolutely fucking is.
They are going to fuck with the elections. Hard. Dems don’t need to pull off a victory, they need to pull off a victory so overwhelming that they win even with Republican hands on the scale. That’s IF we even get an election in the first place.
And for those of you saying if they cancel the elections we’ll riot, well… gestures back to the countless lines in the sand stretching off into the distance
Republicans win when 2 things happen.
Democrats get disheartened, and when democrats don’t vote.
Both of which lead to lower voter numbers, and thus, more easily manipulated and fraudulent election. Don’t think we’ve Republicans defrauding elections already? Think again
Democrats need to vote overwhelmingly against this shit. everyone needs to vote overwhelmingly against this shit. It throws their ability to conceal fraud into chaos.
