Republicans may have won the battle to retake the House in this month's midterm elections, but the manner of the win that ultimately resulted in a thinner majority than expected means the GOP is facing new challenges that could threaten its agenda — and they're coming from within the party.
In the first week back in session, Republicans already experienced intraparty drama and infighting, a result of building tension from the last two years. Relations have been shaky among top Republicans, particularly after former President Donald Trump’s second impeachment that split the party based on who supported the former president’s claims that the 2020 election was stolen.“You’ve gotta have a war every five or 10 years to get rid of the bad blood,” Sen.
However, those 10 votes reveal some division among the party, especially as some high-profile Republicans have been outspoken about their opposition to McConnell’s leadership. It’s not clear why Graham voted against McConnell, although some Republicans have reportedly suggested it could reflect a division among the party based on loyalty to Trump.
Scott and McConnell openly feuded over midterm strategy throughout the campaign cycle, particularly on how Republicans should frame their messaging.
