Tom Emmer, the chair of the NRCC, explained that the GOP’s decision to hone in on the aforementioned districts is meticulous and strategic. Emmer maintains that due to the Democrats’ “uphill battle” to champion their far-left agenda, Republicans are “on offense” across the nation.
In another striking blow to Democrats, multiple leftist House members have stated that they will retire from Congress or seek a different office. This inherently weakens the already slim House majority that Democrats have.
Back in April, an NRCC poll showed that the GOP is widely expected to win back the House majority come 2022.
Upcoming changes to House GOP leadership?
As Republicans work to take back the House, there are reports about possible changes in House leadership. Several GOP House members are frustrated with Republican Rep. Liz Cheney, the current House Conference Chairwoman.
On Tuesday, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy spoke about this issue. McCarthy stated that concerns exist about Cheney’s ability to do her job and focus on the GOP’s best interests. These concerns are a subsequent reaction to Cheney’s latest back-and-forths with former President Trump; moreover, Republicans fear that Cheney could derail the GOP’s work to take back the House of Representatives.
