There have been a number of groups across the political spectrum that have worked to remedy this issue in the past several electoral cycles. One such group is With Honor, which […]
Republican infighting seems to be echoing throughout every chamber of Congress. On Friday, two Republican Senators called to push the Senate GOP’s leadership elections a day. Florida Republican Marco Rubio initially pushed to postpone the vote saying the next Senate GOP Leader should be “genuinely committed” to defending conservative values. “The Senate GOP leadership vote […]
