Former Illinois Congressman Rodney Davis discusses Speaker McCarthy’s efforts in unifying a divided Congress on issues like the threat of China and how the GOP is approaching voters in 2024 differently. Davis comments, “It's about what matters locally. Every single voter in America knows that Washington D.C. is screwed up. But to me, what really sets apart the winners in very marginal- even political districts, is what you doing back home.” Saying, “most Americans don't live eat, breathe what we see here in Washington D.C, we think they do because we don't live in reality. And in the end, most Americans care about how much are they paying at the grocery store? How long is it going to take them to go pick up their kids after school and get them to their next sporting event? How much is it going to cost to actually replace that broken down vehicle, and those are pocketbook issues that Republicans need to address. And that is how Republicans in House, Republicans running to take over the Senate can really make the difference. The culture wars, it's fun to argue, it's fun to sit back and laugh when companies like Anheuser Busch make terrible decisions that cost them $5 billion in market capital. It's funny, but it's disgusting at the same time, that they decided to get engaged in that process in that political, very hypercharged cultural debate. But to win races that are going to keep us in the majority and keep Kevin McCarthy speaker, we're going to have to have candidates that localize their election, that remind those silent middle-of-the-road voters, that are not that partisan, what [Republicans are] doing for them.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
