The Spin

Democratic narrative

Republicans have brought the House, and potentially the entire federal government, to a standstill thanks to circus-like infighting and a blind inability to understand the bigger picture. McCarthy must either cut a deal with the Democrats or give in to the far-right of his party — inevitably undermining his own position regardless of the decision made.

Republican narrative

More than anything, the House must be protected from the influence of the Democratic Party. Republican dissidents most likely will place party principles first — pushing pressure onto the Democrats as the funding deadline looms ever closer. The reckless policies of the Biden Admin. and his Democratic allies have created this political moment and soaring American debt.
