Deep dives
Republican Party faces crisis of leadership
The Republican Party is in crisis due to a lack of leadership and internal division. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has been unable to move forward with important bills due to infighting among Republicans. McCarthy's decision to open an impeachment inquiry into President Biden is unpopular and strategically unwise. Meanwhile, a small faction of far-right Republicans, influenced by Donald Trump, holds sway over McCarthy and the party's direction. This situation hinders effective governance and could result in a government shutdown.
