WASHINGTON (AP) — At least three Republicans running for the U.S. House attended the “Stop the Steal” rally on Jan. 6, 2021, and made their way toward the U.S. Capitol during the insurrection to stop Joe Biden’s election.
Countless other House Republican candidates are skeptics and deniers of the 2020 election lost by Donald Trump.
There are veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, small-business owners and the most geographically, racially and culturally diverse group of Republicans seeking House seats in the modern era — many of whom, like Trump in 2016, are political newcomers who have never held elected office.
All told, the House GOP’s Class of 2022 midterm candidates includes a new generation of political outsiders, populists and some extremists who could bring an intensity to Capitol Hill. They would be an untested and potentially unruly majority if Republicans win the House in the Nov. 8 election.
Republicans are increasingly confident they will win control of the House, confronting Democrats on a widening map. The party in the White House traditionally suffers setbacks in the president’s midterm, and Democrats are weighed down by Biden’s lagging approval ratings and voter unease over inflation’s grip on the economy.
In many ways, Republicans are reassembling the Trump coalition with a well-funded but unusual alliance of candidates reflecting his supporters: charismatic Trump-styled media stars, “America First” military veterans, women, minorities and what’s left of the GOP’s traditional conservatives.

good.
We are coming for you liberals!
As long as the AssPress is clenching its cheeks, we’re probably on the right track.
AP header should have a barf warning.
I like that part. Traditional conservatives are what has allowed the Left to dominate the debate and win battle after battle for the past 30 years. Ever since the Bush family started dominating Republican politics in the 1990s, the Left started advancing and Republicans went along and said there was no way to advance actual conservative policies. Other than getting the country involved in endless wars, which some claimed was "conservative".
“Outsiders”. Wooooooooo!
*sniff, sniff*.........FEAR!
“Bloodbath” - it’s just a turn of phrase. Honestly.
The people who say men can get pregnant and are cutting off female breasts are calling people extremists?
Yeah, Baby!
Let’s hope that the AP actually has something to worry about.
excellent!! just the way our Framers intended it to be! Should be like this EVERY ELECTION!
Lord I hope so......
Oooo. Extremists!
They may want to follow the constitution! Nasty.
It’s time to shut down the AP for blatant propaganda and misinformation.
> House GOP’s possible newcomers include outsiders, extremists <
A few helpful definitions:
Outsider: Someone who is not a Deep State puppet.
Extremist: Someone who does not agree with “progressives” 100% of the time.
Yup. Originally it was Joe Farmer who was tending his farm, ran for office, got elected, served his/her term, then went back to tending their farm.
It was never, ever intended to be a lifelong position.
They're terrified.
