If we stay vigilant to raise the money, recruit the candidates, and remind the voters of the clear contrast between our parties’ vision [sic] for America, we believe voters will respond in kind and elect a new generation of Republican leadership in House of Representatives," Congressional Leadership Fund (CLF) president Dan Conston highlighted in a new memo.

An interesting trend is emerging in American politics whereby Democrats are emerging as the party of financial corruption as Republicans find fundraising success sans corporate dollars. The tectonic political shift could prove significant in the long-run leading into the 2022 congressional midterm elections, and beyond. Several frontline House Democrats find themselves embroiled in financial corruption scandals, with at least five—Reps. Vicente Gonzalez (D-TX), Dean Phillips (D-MN), Stephanie Murphy (D-FL), Tom Malinowski (D-NJ), and Sean Patrick Maloney (D-NY)—facing questions and criticisms over their personal finances and portfolios, which may cause them political blowback in the upcoming elections. Gonzalez’s account with the Bank of China, now closed after it was reported first by Breitbart News, has hurt him politically in Texas.

Rep. Julia Letlow (R-La.) was sworn into office on Wednesday after winning a special election to replace her late husband, Luke Letlow, who died of COVID-19 complications before his term was set to begin this year. With Letlow now officially a member of the House, Democrats' majority is slightly thinner with 218 seats over Republicans' 212. Going forward, Democrats will only be able to afford up to two defections and still pass legislation on their own without any support from Republicans. Letlow's swearing-in also comes a week after the death of Rep.

Tom Emmer Thomas (Tom) Earl Emmer GOP campaign chief confident his party will win back House Letlow wins Louisiana special House election to replace late husband Fundraising spat points to Trump-GOP fissures MORE (Minn.), the Republican in charge of winning back the House majority for his party next year, is voicing measured confidence that the GOP will build on its 2020 momentum, when it gained seats while losing the White House. The president’s party typically loses seats in a midterm election, and Republicans only need to gain 5 seats to win back the House. Still, Emmer says he’s taking nothing for granted.

The chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), the organization charged with protecting the House Democrats’ majority, is using a perch he has on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) to spread disinformation to attack his political opponents in the Republican Party. Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D-NY), the chairman of the DCCC and a HPSCI member, has joined other HPSCI Democrats in attacking Republicans falsely over a package they received last year from a foreign power. Specifically, Maloney is attacking HPSCI’s ranking GOP member Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) over a package he received from a Ukrainian lawmaker with ties to the Kremlin. Maloney’s attacks are based on the premise that Nunes received a package last year with political information from the Russian-tied Ukrainian lawmaker Andriy Derkach. Interestingly, Maloney leaves out the key detail which is that Nunes — as Breitbart News previously confirmed— followed proper intelligence … [Read more...] about House Democrat Campaign Chief Uses Intelligence Committee Perch to Spread Disinformation
