Stop focusing on the general election. Now is primary time. Today, I explain the case for getting rid of Speaker Johnson (R-La.) and why the timing of most congressional primaries is optimal to maximize pressure on members. Everything going on today can be influenced through our own dominion over red states on the right, but that will require my colleges to demand that Trump stop supporting Johnson. I show how Trump continues to drift to the left and help bail Johnson out and is literally siding with Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.). Finally, I discuss how the recent Utah convention shows that we can single-handedly take over the GOP in one election if we moved from popular primaries to representative conventions. It is the single closest idea I have to a silver bullet, and it’s shocking that we don’t have greater support around it.
