Raskin says no decision on whether to subpoena Pence/call Trump in probe. “There are competing imperatives, and one imperative is we want to get all of the evidence as quickly as we can. On the other hand, we don't want to go on legal wild goose chases with people,” he told me — PolitiTweet.org

Pelosi defends Dems spending money to prop up far-right candidates. “The political decisions that are made out there are made in furtherance of our winning the election because we think the contrast between Democrats and Republicans … is so drastic that we have to win.” — PolitiTweet.org

Asked Dem Rep. Dean Phillips about his comment that he wouldn’t back Biden in 2024, and he told me: “Biden has been the principled, stabilizing bridge the country needed. I just believe it’s time for generational change in Congress and the White House.” — PolitiTweet.org

House Dems are struggling to put together pre-recess messaging votes on police funding amid disagreements over the language. Now they plan to just move on an assault weapons ban even though it won’t pass the Senate — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s my exchange with McCarthy: — PolitiTweet.org

Manu Raju @mkraju

McCarthy hasn’t had a solo press conference since mid-March. He doesn’t address whether GOP majority would probe 2020 election results when asked. Also won’t say if he’s concerned if Trump announces election run in midterm season. (Has previously indicated he doesn’t want to) — PolitiTweet.org

Manu Raju @mkraju

McCarthy just told me that he does NOT “recall” his conversations with Cassidy Hutchinson on Jan. 6. I asked him about her sworn testimony that he called her after Trump said at rally he was going to the Capitol and told her not to come to the Capitol. Says he doesn’t recall. — PolitiTweet.org
