Swing-district Republicans will have to balance the wishes of conservative voters to guard against right-wing primary challenges while working with a Dem-led Senate and President Biden on matters like government funding and averting a major debt default.
WASHINGTON — Conservative hard-liners are consolidating power in the narrow new House majority, presenting early challenges for Republicans in swing districts ahead of the 2024 election as Democrats seek to paint the entire party as beholden to extremists.
“The road to holding the majority in 2024 is through Biden-held congressional seats. Republicans are going to have to, at some point, offer an agenda that resonates outside of deep red country,” Spain said. “If you can’t win independent voters, you can’t win elections.” Rep.-elect Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., sits next to Rep.-elect Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., in the House Chamber during the fourth day of elections for Speaker of the House on Jan. 6, 2023.
He warned that Republicans cannot simply be “naysayers” and must be ready to “compromise with the Democratic Senate and a Democratic president.” He said swing-district Republicans need to be willing to use their power and withhold votes when necessary to counteract the influence of hard-liners and sink extreme proposals.
“There are political dangers,” Mace told NBC News after she voted for the bill. “In my district in South Carolina, it’s a pro-choice district. People were very upset about overturning Roe v. Wade. ... We need to find common ground, because we barely have a majority.” Matt Gorman, a consultant who worked for the National Republican Congressional Committee in 2018, said committee assignments for right-wing members will be less important to the House majority than the White House dynamics.Lance, the former congressman, argued that renominating former President Donald Trump could cost Republicans the House.
