'Can't govern': Dems salivate as Trump-led GOP 'shot themselves in the foot' all week
February 08, 2024
Democratic operatives are telling Semafor that their Republican opponents this week have given them plenty of fodder to use in campaigns later this year with a series of votes that failed on the floor of the House of Representatives.
The operatives say that this week's events, which saw Republicans fail in their own campaign to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, will help them portray the GOP as the party of chaos that can't even get its own partisan agenda passed, let alone hammer out negotiations on a bipartisan basis.
“We’ve had a good week because Republicans have shot themselves in the foot,” a Biden campaign aide explained to the publication. “There’s a lot for us to work with, and we’re going to be able to highlight Joe Biden focusing on issues that matter for voters while Republicans are not.”

Democratic operative Kate Berner, meanwhile, told Semafor that this week shows "Donald Trump and congressional Republicans and the MAGA Republican Party can’t govern or deliver results for the American people."
A Trump spokesperson offered a profane response to Democrats and told Semafor that "their record has been s----y at best."
