Yesterday, NRCC Chair Richard Hudson all but ordered his vulnerable members to “bend the knee” and endorse Donald Trump.
Like they did when they unanimously backed MAGA Mike Johnson or pushed numerous abortion attacks in Congress, Republican incumbents and candidates alike will no doubt fall in line and endorse MAGA extremism or risk losing support from their leaders.
ICYMI: Vulnerable New York Republican Nick Lalota (NY-01) was one of the first to express his fealty over the weekend with a full-throated endorsement of the four-time criminally indicted former president.
DCCC Spokesperson Viet Shelton:
“Donald Trump called it when he said that Republicans across the country would all ‘bend the knee’ and declare their fealty to him – no matter how toxic he is. Now we’re watching it happen in real time as party leaders are pressuring candidates across the country to fall in line. Trump’s attacks on our democracy, reproductive freedoms, and working families are wildly unpopular with the public and House Republicans’ embrace of his MAGA extremism is going to cost them their majority in November.”
