Rep. George Santos (R-NY) is set to face his third expulsion attempt as soon as this week, with the New York freshman already conceding defeat that he’ll be ousted from the House and won’t run for reelection. If Santos is removed, that brings the House GOP’s four-seat majority down to just three — setting the stage for a special election in New York to finish out his term in a district that leans likely Democratic. A slew of other candidates have already lined up to replace Santos in the likelihood he is expelled, including Democrats and Republicans.

#washingtonexaminer #republicans #election2024 One of the most famous debate blunders in recent memory concerned which federal departments a Republican candidate wanted to eliminate. Then-Texas Gov. Rick Perry was listing the three agencies he wanted to scrap — or trying to. After rattling off the departments of Commerce and Education, he struggled to find the third, which was later revealed to be the Department of Energy.

Car thefts have risen 93% in 2023 in DC as the district struggles to beat back a crippling crime wave. Carjackings, which are a violent crime, have doubled since last year.

President Joe Biden privately apologized to Muslim leaders last month after expressing doubt about the number of people the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry said had been killed in the war between Israel and Hamas. Biden cast doubt on the reported death toll in the area, which the Gaza Health Ministry said was 6,000 Palestinians, including 2,700 children, at the time — skepticism that was received poorly among some in the party. The president later met with several Muslim leaders about the humanitarian problems in Gaza and offered an apology afterward.

Christie appeared on State of the Union on Sunday, where host Dana Bash pointed out that opponent Donald Trump is still in the lead in New Hampshire by about 40 points, per a CNN poll.

#washingtonexaminer #gop #elections #crime #rondesantis #donaldtrump #police #lawandorder Republicans have intensified their focus on crime and public safety this year, accusing Democrats of putting the public at risk over liberal measures that favor reform policies over prison. It's one of the few topics that party strategists believe can sway independent voters and reenergize Republicans. While crime-heavy campaigns have been part of the GOP playbookfor decades, former President Donald Trump upped the ante in 2020 by tying Democrats to the Black Lives Matter movement and vilified them by claiming they wanted to defund and dismantle local police departments.

Argentina cast itself into uncharted territory when it voted in Javier Milei, an eccentric libertarian who has vowed to overturn the country's political order. Even before Milei's election, parallels were drawn between Milei, 53, and former President Donald Trump, both known for their bombastic personality and showman approach to politics. Like Trump, Milei's candidacy was based on his desire to upend the standing political order. The Argentinian economist derided socialism, the Left, and the government as the center of all the country's problems. He has pledged to institute sweeping liberal economic reforms and the drastic cutting of government bureaucracy.

#washingtonexaminer #gopdebates #elections A key issue any prospective presidential administration will face is how to handle tax policy, and taxes will undoubtedly be discussed during the first debate of the GOP primary season. The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was the biggest revamp of the federal tax code in years and the biggest fiscal policy change during former President Donald Trump’s time in office. Many of the provisions in the law are scheduled to sunset shortly after the 2024 elections and some already have. Extending those tax changes will likely be one of the first legislative challenges should a Republican oust President Joe Biden next year.
