'The jig might be up' as string of failures haunt GOP chances in 2024: columnist

The Washington Post's Jennifer Rubin maintains that party members are not heeding the warnings of Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), who effusively made a point of saying he has nothing to campaign on to prove to constituents that he has been doing his job.

Calling what House Republicans are engaging as "performative politics," Rubin advised they, "Might want to consider the toll their chaos-producing antics are taking.

She continued, "With no one to cover their tracks, Republicans risk making themselves vulnerable to voters disgusted with partisan melodrama," and added, "The jig might be up for Republicans."

"Republicans overwhelmingly were against Biden’s popular infrastructure bill and in favor of shutting down the government, defaulting on the debt and conducting bogus impeachment hearings that the voters do not want while opposing a tough border control bill.

"Democrats can hardly believe their good fortune heading into November. Chip Roy likely will not be the only one who cannot think of a single reason to keep them in power."
