US Chamber rejects McCarthy’s call for new leadership
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is sticking with CEO Suzanne Clark after House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) reportedly privately called on the business group to replace her. Mark Ordan, chairman of the Chamber’s board, said in a statement that Clark has the organization’s “complete support.”

“The U.S. Chamber of Commerce team serves a vital role in the daily defense of American business. We serve our members, not a political party. Staying true to that mission requires a smart, savvy, vigorous leader like our CEO Suzanne Clark,” he said.

McCarthy has demanded that the Chamber replace its leadership, including Clark, if he becomes House speaker, Axios reported. Otherwise, McCarthy won’t work with the nation’s largest business lobbying group, the outlet reported.

The Chamber’s response threatens to widen a rift between the business group and House GOP leaders that began after the Chamber endorsed 23 Democrats in key 2020 House races.

“I don’t want the U.S. Chamber’s endorsement because they have sold out,” McCarthy told Fox News following the endorsements.
Republicans have become increasingly hostile toward corporate America over companies’ stances on social issues and their decision to cut off PAC donations to lawmakers who voted against certifying the 2020 election results, including McCarthy. The Chamber did not commit to cutting off funds to all election objectors.

The Chamber has endorsed 23 Republicans and four Democrats in this year’s competitive House races and donated $3 million to a super PAC aligned with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) to boost Republican Senate hopeful Mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania.

The business group, which represents much of corporate America and spends more on federal lobbying than any other entity, has made clear that it is still aligned with Republicans, who generally favor looser regulations and lower taxes for corporations.

“Republicans across the country have been running on issues, such as crime and inflation, important to the business community. A Republican speaker and majority will be an important check and balance on the excesses we’ve seen from the left. We look forward to working with the leadership and next Congress,” a Chamber spokesperson said in a statement.

It’s unclear who McCarthy would want to replace Clark, who took over as president and CEO in March 2021. Axios reported that Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R), who is set to leave office after the midterms, is interested in the job.

The little people have no respect. Can not wait for Trump's reply.

Cruz calls out Trump for not spending on Senate candidates
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) is calling out former President Trump for not spending more of his $100 million war chest to boost Republican Senate candidates ahead of next week’s midterm elections.

In an episode of his podcast, “Verdict with Ted Cruz,” that aired on Monday, Cruz lamented that Trump had spent “almost none” of his massive cash reserves in key Senate races, arguing that it should be up to the former president to provide crucial air cover for candidates whom he has endorsed.

“I will say by the way I wish Trump was spending some of his money,” Cruz said. “Trump’s got $100 million and he’s spending almost none of it to support these candidates.”

Cruz also accused Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) of withholding critical political dollars from “pro-Trump” candidates, while funneling money into races where “moderates” and Trump critics are running.

“It would be nice if Trump would spend some of that $100 million to help some of these candidates who Mitch is abandoning because they’re pro-Trump,” Cruz said. “Those are the two pockets of money that are there, and right now neither of them are spending in a number of these states. They’re not.”

Cruz’s comments echoed a point of criticism raised by many Republicans for months that Trump hasn’t spent enough to help his preferred candidates at a time when the GOP has a real shot at recapturing control of the Senate.

While Trump hasn’t sat on the sidelines entirely, his involvement in the midterms for much of the past year and a half has mostly consisted of issuing endorsements and holding occasional rallies for politically aligned candidates. Meanwhile, Republican Senate nominees have routinely struggled to keep pace with their Democratic opponents in fundraising.

Republican outside groups have stepped in and ramped up their spending over the past month. That includes a newly formed super PAC backed by Trump called MAGA Inc, which was created to serve as the former president’s primary political vehicle in the final stretch of the midterm campaigns.
Ted is a highly trained lawyer and a smart psychopath; he knows Donald is done and is not running this year. In a month I expect Donald to be indicted and so do many lawyers and legal experts. Once indicted in DC the judge will muzzle Donald or he could even be held in custody as others are for similar crimes. He would most likely be in the custody of his SS detail until conviction and perhaps sentencing, because arrangements will have to be made for a special cage, though it won't be gilded. Donald only has a limited amount of time to cause Ted trouble and he will be pretty preoccupied with legal issues soon enough.

they're both sacks of shit, the US chamber of commerce is a fucking joke, and they could replace the entire board with stray dogs and US businesses would get better representation.

once indicted, i would assume his access to that pac money will be locked out...you can't have the defendant spending his ill gotten gains on his own legal defense. they should use that money to pay off as many of his small debts as possible, all the small companies he's fucked over over the years, contractors, motel employs, women he's assaulted...they should get his daughter some psychological counseling too, i'm sure living with that kind of sexual tension through your adolescence and teen years has to be damaging.

An example of republican unity one week before the election! Mitch will be celebrating having Donald off his back and out of the way when he is indicted. McCarthy could be planning his visits to Trump in the big house for his endorsement as house speaker. Yes he would visit Donald in federal prison for instructions and Donald will have one demand, GET ME OTTA HERE! I don't care if ya gotta shut down the country until he pardons me and apologies! That's how Kevin will become speaker if they win the house and only Trump's endorsement from his prison cell can get it for him, so expect a government shutdown and a feud with Mitch. Donald will also insist that Biden and Garland be impeached ASAP.

I think the GOP is forgetting that they are the party of big business. I'm pretty sure big business will remind them.

As crazy as that sounds, it is very plausible.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: ‘Under Republicans, not another penny will go to Ukraine’
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) promised on Thursday that “not another penny will go to Ukraine” if Republicans retake control of Congress in Tuesday’s midterm elections.

“The only border they care about is Ukraine, not America’s southern border,” Greene said of Democrats at a Trump rally in Sioux City, Iowa. “Under Republicans, not another penny will go to Ukraine. Our country comes first. They don’t care about our border or our people.”

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Ky.) similarly suggested last month that Republicans would rein in Ukraine spending if they retake the House, as the GOP appears poised to do, though he stopped far short of saying the faucet would be shut off entirely.

“Ukraine is important, but at the same time it can’t be the only thing, and it can’t be a blank check,” McCarthy told Punchbowl News in October.
The comments earned McCarthy backlash from Democrats, as well as some of his fellow Republicans. The House minority leader appears to be at odds with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who has spearheaded Republican support for Ukraine aid.

Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) accused McCarthy of “giving aid and comfort to the enemy” with his remarks and suggested that the minority leader was trying to appease the far-right wing of the party in his quest to be Speaker.
Greene, a far-right supporter of former President Trump, had warned that the Republican base would be “unhappy” if McCarthy did not give her more power in the House next term.

“I think that to be the best Speaker of the House and to please the base, he’s going to give me a lot of power and a lot of leeway,” Greene told The New York Times Magazine in October.
