In this post I’m going to recommend something that is possible however still not likely. It would be a huge sufficient offer that I believe it’s worth having in the back of your mind as we move into the 2024 election season. It’s ended up being a cliche that House Republicans are besieged by department, dysfunction and basic funny. In a manner this has actually been the story for several years and yet, regardless of the shenanigans, overall indifference to doing the real work of governing and more, they still appear to do all right. And yet, I believe there’s some argument that this Congress remains in a various classification. The whole 118th Congress has actually been one long-running shutdown drama. Mike Johnson is now successfully running your house with Democratic votes. There’s the sign which is more difficult to brush off: a non-trivial number of Republican agents are simply stopping. In a couple cases, we’ve seen them give up without even having a brand-new gig lined up. Obviously more might go.
