House GOP Divisions Spill Onto Campaign Trail

“The ideologically fractured House Republican conference has spent the past year debating what it takes to govern. Now that fight is spilling onto the campaign trail,” the Washington Post reports.

“Members from the far-right and more traditional wings of the conference are campaigning against their colleagues in hopes of persuading primary voters to kick out incumbents and replace them with Republicans each group believes will better serve their political interests.”

“The unusual primary interventions are a result of an ongoing intraparty dispute over what — or who — can bring about a ‘governing majority.'”
