GOP vs GOP: Party Fragmentation in the New Congress

from Middleweight Politics: Political Analysis for the Independent Voter · host Dan Sally & Shawn Griffiths

As we recorded this episode, the GOP seemed poised to shut down the government just days before officially taking control, thanks to internal party defections that derailed a critical funding bill. Meanwhile, across the aisle, Nancy Pelosi's active opposition to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's bid to become the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee exposed similar fractures within the Democratic Caucus. In this episode, Shawn and Dan dive into the fragmentation within both parties, Elon Musk's entrance as a Republican power broker, and a recent poll showing a surprisingly high level of support for Donald Trump among people who voted for Jill Stein.
