Thune added: “The Dems were in many cases able to turn it into a choice election because of Trump’s presence out there - so was he a factor? I don't think there's any question about that.” — PolitiTweet.org

Manu Raju @mkraju

Thune on Trump’s impact: “Well he was of course very active in the primaries and even in the general election because he was a presence out there  and in an election year where it should have been a referendum on the current administration and their policies.” — PolitiTweet.org

GOP Sen. John Thune, the No. 2 Republican, to me on their 2022 problems: “A lot of the candidates who had problems in these elections were running on the 2020 election being stolen and I don't think independent voters were having it.” — PolitiTweet.org

Scalise on whether he would run if McCarthy can’t get 218. “I’m not going to get into speculation. Obviously our focus is on getting it resolved by January 3. And there's a lot of conversations that everybody has been having.” https://t.co/A40ijx692Y — PolitiTweet.org

Tension in House GOP as Biggs announces run. A faction of Rs say there’s no way McCarthy can get 218 votes. Marjorie Taylor Greene spoke in McCarthy’s defense in closed meeting and later said she’s “sick and tired" of the so-called "Never Kevin" movement https://t.co/A40ijx692Y — PolitiTweet.org

McConnell response: “I would respond by saying today we gave the gold medal to the heroes of January 6th.  We admire and respect them. They laid their lives on the line and that's why we gave a gold medal today to the heroes of January 6th.” — PolitiTweet.org

Manu Raju @mkraju

Asked McConnell - in aftermath of his criticism of Trump in the past two weeks - if he could categorically say he wouldn't support him as GOP nominee. "What I’m saying is it would be pretty hard to be sworn in to the presidency if you’re not willing to uphold the Constitution" https://t.co/FUdv4zIpvT — PolitiTweet.org

News with big implications for the new Congress: McConnell says a deal on a year-long omnibus spending package seems out of reach and that they may have to pass a stop-gap resolution until early next year. This would put a funding fight on table. “We are running out of time.” — PolitiTweet.org

Manu Raju @mkraju

For the second time in two weeks, McConnell criticizes Trump. Last time about Trump’s white supremacist dinner. Today, on Trump saying Constitution should be terminated. Said it strikes him that a candidate who wants Constitiution suspended would have a “hard time being sworn in” — PolitiTweet.org

Year-end priorities all in flux as the two sides are still at an impasse over massive funding bill as well as the annual defense authorization bill, per senators. Unclear how it will get resolved — PolitiTweet.org

Biggs' candidacy will only make it harder for McCarthy to claim the speaker's gavel on the first ballot on Jan. 3. He lost his conference's nomination by a 188-31 vote. The next speaker needs to win 218 votes on the House floor on Jan. 3. There will be 222 GOP seats — PolitiTweet.org

There are many Rs who oppose raising debt ceiling even if all their demands are met. This will be a big math problem for Rs sometime next year since Congress unlikely to act in lame-duck. “I’m a no, no matter what,” Rep. Tim Burchett, a Tennessee Republican, said. — PolitiTweet.org
