ONE YEAR LATER: Anniversary of McCarthy’s Firing Spurs House Republicans to Reflect on Failed Record and Increasing Prospects of Losing the Majority

Democrats poised to retake the majority as "fundraising continues to be a big problem for House Republicans "

One year ago today, House Republicans ousted their own Speaker of the House, highlighting the chaos, infighting, and dysfunction that has defined their time in the majority.

And the infighting has only continued as House Republicans tanked their own bills on the House floor, failed for three weeks to find a replacement Speaker, and refused to deliver real wins for the American people.

Now, they're openly admitting how useless they are and the fact that they don't have anything to campaign on as we approach the final month of the election:

• "[Republicans] don't have anything to show for having controlled the House for two years." - Rep. Bod Good

• "[McCarthy's ousting] caused a lot of hard feelings, and we wasted several weeks." - Rep. James Comer

• "This is why I don't want to stay in Congress." - Rep. Cory Mills

• "I feel completely justified going back home and saying, 'Why would I sign up for this again?'" - Anonymous GOP member

• (when asked if Johnson has done a decent job since McCarthy's ousting) "No." - Rep. Bob Good

Even vulnerable House Republicans are already teeing up scapegoats as they prepare to lose their useless majority.

DCCC Spokesperson Viet Shelton:
"When House Republicans fired Kevin McCarthy to then elevate the most extreme speaker in history, they broadcast a very clear message to the American people: There are no more moderate Republicans left, only far-right extremists obsessed with passing a nationwide abortion ban, tax breaks for the ultrawealthy, and rubber stamping Project 2025 - and they should lose the majority. And come Nov. 5, they will!"
