While Democrats unite behind Harris, House GOP unites in disarray

In the 24 hours following President Joe Biden’s announcement ending his reelection campaign and endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris, Democrats rallied with record speed behind Harris, with endorsements and a jaw-dropping surge in donations.

So what were the Republicans who are in charge of the House doing in those 24 hours? The usual: falling apart. Chaos once again ruled in Speaker Mike Johnson’s chamber. 

Just a month ago, Johnson was touting his leadership’s plan to have all 12 of the government agency funding bills passed before August recess. So far, they’ve passed four. The plan for the next two weeks was to wrap up another four, two this week and two next. But within hours of the House convening Monday morning, the first two bills were yanked off the schedule.
