Description
The fallout from the RNC’s weekend censure of Reps. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.)
and Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) spread to Capitol Hill on Monday: Hill
Republicans returned to town and lit into Chair Ronna McDaniel. Senate
Republicans went on the record to say that looking back to 2020 is a
losing strategy that won’t help the party flip both chambers of
Congress.
And they’re furious that the RNC would dub the activities of Jan. 6
“legitimate political discourse.”
And less than 24 hours after our colleague Alex Thompson reported that
an internal White House investigation found that top White House science
adviser Eric Lander bullied and mistreated his subordinates, Lander
resigned.

Debbie Stabenow told reporters Monday night. Sen. Patrick Leahy is so worried about being here on Christmas that he and his wife bought a holiday tree for their home in D.C. Here are some reasons for the growing pessimism. by POLITICO Playbook Daily Briefing
