While we should never count our chickens until they are fully out of their shells, there is almost unanimous agreement among the major polling groups that the GOP should be able to retake the majority in the House next month. (Insert the standard caveat about how bad the polling has been of late here.) If that happens, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy still appears to be the odds-on favorite to be the next Speaker, though that assumption also comes with a few caveats. Some of the GOP members in the lower chamber have clearly been feeling their oats and have been starting to suggest that Joe Biden might be impeached next year if everything plays out as expected. But McCarthy gave an interview to Punchbowl News yesterday in which he pushed back on that idea strongly. Rather than talking about impeaching Biden, the GOP needs to keep a laser focus on the Democrats’ mishandling of the economy, inflation, crime rates, and border security. McCarthy is obviously not flawless at all times in terms of the conservative agenda, but this is one time when the members might be wise to listen to him. (Bloomberg News)
