Five Questions for John Duarte on McCarthy’s Extreme MAGA Agenda

Just weeks after House Democrats prevented a GOP-manufactured default, Speaker Kevin McCarthy is putting highly vulnerable Rep. John Duarte at risk just to placate his far-right base as they threaten his weakening grip on the Speaker’s gavel.

Californians deserve to know if Duarte will stand up for his constituents or continue to stand with McCarthy and his extreme agenda.

  • Will Duarte support efforts to fast track the GOP Tax Scam 2.0 to give tax giveaways to the wealthy and well-connected, and protect tax cheats?

  • Will Duarte vote for ongoing Republican efforts to enact a nationwide abortion ban?

  • Does Duarte support the political stunts targeting FBI Director Christopher Wray?

  • Does Duarte support right-wing efforts to impeach the Homeland Security Secretary?

  • Does Duarte want to impeach President Biden for overseeing the creation of 13 million jobs in 28 months?

Recent polling suggests vulnerable House Republicans – including John Duarte – are prioritizing the wrong issues.

DCCC spokesperson Viet Shelton
“Vulnerable House Republicans like John Duarte are seemingly ok with bailing out Kevin McCarthy and advancing the Freedom Caucus’ extreme agenda at the direct expense of Californians. Duarte’s continued deference to McCarthy’s radical and dangerous priorities is only helping Democrats build the case against them in 2024.”
