“I feel strongly this is in our best interest, America’s best interest and the world’s best interests to do this. Meantime, the House GOP has aligned itself closely with Trump and taken steps that have made some Republican senators uneasy – including impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over the problems at the border. But McConnell didn’t think the flap would have much of an impact on Senate races. “I think that every one of these races will hash that out one way or another,” McConnell said. “The age issue is obviously front and center for both candidates,” McConnell said when asked about the matter.

Senate Republicans and Democrats have attempted to negotiate border-related legislation for weeks. Trump is pushing his supporters in Congress to kill the bill to gain an upper hand in the election. No public text has been released despite months of negotiations, even senators have complained that they are receiving few details from the discussions between Sen. James Lankford, an Oklahoma Republican, and Senate Democrats. "Using a one-time spending package to enact these unrelated permanent policy changes sets a dangerous precedent and risks assistance to our international partners," 11 Senate Democrats said in a statement about the talks. House Speaker Mike Johnson said it's "absurd" to suggest he would kill the talks to help Trump.

CNN —House Republicans picked Rep. Steve Scalise as their nominee for speaker on Wednesday, but the Louisiana Republican lacks the votes needed to win the gavel and it remains unclear whether he will be able to win over holdouts. Scalise won out over Rep. Jim Jordan in a closed-door vote by the House GOP conference to pick their speaker nominee on Wednesday. House Republicans hold a narrow majority and Scalise can only afford to lose four GOP votes on the floor and still win the speakership. McCarthy’s ouster, which was driven by a group of hardline conservatives, has intensified deep divisions within the House GOP conference and escalated tensions. Scalise is a veteran of House GOP leadershipScalise has risen through the ranks of leadership during his time in Congress.

U.S. Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) makes his way to a Republican caucus meeting at the U.S. Capitol Building on September 20, 2023 in Washington, DC. WASHINGTON — House Speaker Kevin McCarthy failed a crucial test Thursday of his ability to unite his fractured Republican caucus as he tries to rally support to pass a spending bill aimed at avoiding a government shutdown at the end of the month. On Wednesday, two Republicans who had formerly opposed the rules bill signaled they would switch sides to support it, raising hopes that it could pass. Across the Capitol, Republicans in both the House and Senate held their breath to see what the California lawmaker and his lieutenants would do next. "We want to avoid this shutdown however we can," Oklahoma GOP Sen. Markwayne Mullin told CNBC Thursday.

The RGA is investing in a "seven figure" ad buy to boost Kevin Stitt's reelection bid, per Politico. Stitt has faced a barrage of ads criticizing his record, which has made the race competitive. The governor will face Republican-turned-Democrat Joy Hofmeister in the November general election. "This year's Oklahoma gubernatorial election is the most important in generations for all Oklahomans, and that's why leaders of the Five Tribes are endorsing Joy Hofmeister to be Oklahoma's 29th Governor." And the governor has eagerly pointed to the tribes as the source of the advertisement campaign.
