“The Republican voters are sick to death of Republican leadership, their fecklessness, their impotence, their weakness. They have no problem coming together to pass a spending bill for Ukraine, but they can’t do anything that the base actually wants or needs,” Federalist Editor-in-Chief Mollie Hemingway said on Fox News’s “Special Report.”
“They can’t fight the media. They can’t fight their Democrat opponents. And so whoever gets [the speakership] — it will likely be Kevin McCarthy — they need to understand that there is such deep frustration and anger in the base of the Republican Party. They need Republican leadership to act in a much more competent and focused way that benefits their voters.”
