'We can lose this majority very easily': GOP reportedly worried far-right will cost House leadership

House Republicans are reportedly becoming increasingly worried that the far-right wing of the GOP will cost the party its already slim grasp of the majority.

Rep. Lauren Boebert's recent push for impeachment of Biden, as well as a freshman congresswoman's spearheading of the move to censure Democrat Adam Schiff and other recent developments, have led moderate Republicans to question if their far-right colleagues are misusing the government's official processes, even where they agree on the motives, according to the Washington Post.

"The last two weeks of the House Republican agenda have largely been directed by far-right lawmakers who have pushed forward, in some cases quickly, proposals addressing issues that will fire up their staunchly conservative base. And on substance, many of their Republican colleagues support them," the article reads. "But simmering tensions about how the House functions have bubbled up into open hostility in recent days. A majority of the Republican conference is growing concerned that the far-right flank will push the boundaries of governing and continue to force votes on red-meat issues that distract from Republicans’ goal of maintaining a unified front while trying to keep the majority in 2024."

The piece quotes Rep. Mike Garcia (R-Calif.), who represents a district President Joe Biden won by a substantial amount in 2020.

"It’s hard to win. It’s easy to lose," Garcia said, according to the outlet. "We can lose this majority very easily if we decide to do things recklessly."

Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.), who supported a recent far-right blockade of the House floor, is purportedly getting frustrated with the theatrical votes, as well.

"'We get to [consider] things like this, and now impeachments,' Buck said after voting present on a resolution censuring Schiff. 'It’s just not what we’re here for. We should be striving to do better,'" the Washington Post reported.
