Description
After Kevin McCarthy suggested that Donald Trump may not be the

placated him with a promise: the House would vote expunge his
impeachments before the August recess. That bill is now coming due,
posing a major dilemma for the McCarthy, as many moderate Republicans
want nothing to do with such a vote and fear electoral backlash. Plus,
Sen. Lindsey Graham may soon have to guard his back against a Norman —
Rep. Ralph Norman, that is. All that, and the rest of the news you need
to know today.
