    electing a new House speaker could take hours or even days. “It’s going to be a chaotic day,” a top aide to one of the GOP holdouts told The Washington Times on Tuesday. “Could this last for days? Yeah, it could.” Rep. Scott Perry, a conservative Republican from Pennsylvania, outlined the demands Mr. McCarthy has so far rejected, including commitments to consider term limits for members of Congress, a balanced budget measure and legislation to replace income taxes with a national sales tax. “Kevin McCarthy had an opportunity to be speaker of the House,” Rep. Mr. Perry said Tuesday. “He...

  • Late returns to determine winner of Paladino-Langworthy brawl (Paladino leads in NY-23)

    The Buffalo News ^ | August 23, 2022 | Robert J. McCarthy, Charlie Specht and Steve Watson
    Voters were awaiting late returns Tuesday night to determine whether Nicholas A. Langworthy or Carl P. Paladino emerges as the Republican candidate and the November favorite in the reconfigured 23rd Congressional District. Early totals could not point to a definitive winner in the district that spans seven counties, leading both campaigns to wait far beyond the 9 p.m. close of polls to identify the Republican nominee to face Democrat Max Della Pia – a retired Air Force officer – in the Nov. 8 general election. And because turnout for a rare August primary election was deemed light across the seven-county...
  • Anna Paulina Luna defeats Kevin Hayslett for CD 13 GOP nomination (new Congresswoman-to-be in Florida)

    Florida Politics ^ | August 23, 2022
    Anna Paulina Luna has defeated Kevin Hayslett in the Republican Primary for Florida’s 13th Congressional District. Luna took 42% of the vote, while Hayslett collected 35%, with 67% reporting. Republican strategist Amanda Makki came in third, garnering 17% of the vote. Now, Luna will face Democratic nominee Eric Lynn in the November General Election. The Republican Primary for Florida’s 13th Congressional District gradually turned into a contest of who could out-Trump their opponents. Although the race was plagued by lawsuits, death threats, and an abundant use of the term “RINO,” the core battle of the Primary whittled down to one...

    ILLINOIS's highest-profile GOP primary is the race between Republican Reps. Rodney Davis and Mary Miller in the new 15th District, one of the nation’s six incumbent-versus-incumbent primaries. ... < > 13th District in south-central Illinois to be a D+7 seat ... But the GOP could still hold this seat in a Republican-leaning midterm environment.

Hunt, 28, finished first in May’s primary with 37% of the total ballots cast and was the favored candidate of several national Republican politicians, carrying endorsements...
