The Republican Party's Response to Trump

John Avlon: RFK's candidacy would be a kind of punishment for the right-wing media to prop up the RFK candidacy only to have him run in the general election and siphon votes away from Donald Trump. The House is still paralyzed as 11 members of the Freedom Caucus are gumming up the works now, he says. Avlon: They want to punish McCarthy for having used Democratic votes to pass the debt ceiling bill. But it's not clear that they're aiming to topple McCarthy only to kind of annoy him really,Avlon adds.
