They control multiple Israeli towns and are hunting civilians.

The odd dynamic to the McCarthy challenge is that there really isn’t a segment of GOP voters that Gaetz is speaking for.
McCarthy is very popular with conservatives, including the MAGA crowd, polling consistently shows.

Ceasefire advocates who were protesting and blocking the doors of the DNC building are being pulled off, thrown down, and arrested by law enforcement.

Once again, the futile doom loop of “why won’t the other side support our preferred Speaker.” This vote is a fundamental question of party and identity; there was never any basis to expect Dems to bail out a GOP Speaker, just as there’s no basis to expect Rs to support Jeffries.

Don’t believe this spin! Read the poll for yourself and you’ll quickly see why this narrative is wrong.
