Rep. Byron Donalds has recently made an appeal to House GOP members behind closed doors, urging them to shift their focus towards Vice President Kamala Harris' policies. This appeal reflects the growing unease among many Republicans regarding the attacks centered around Harris' race.
The Florida congressman's plea coincides with efforts by the House Republican campaign arm to craft a targeted strategy aimed at highlighting specific aspects of Harris' record in order to undermine Democrats vying for competitive House seats.
Despite Harris not yet being officially declared as the Democratic presidential nominee, the GOP campaign arm is swiftly formulating its messaging to align with its overarching objective of retaining control of the House. The evolving plan involves linking Harris to what Republicans perceive as the shortcomings of the Biden administration's policies, as well as revisiting some of her stances from her 2019 presidential campaign.
Furthermore, there are deliberations within the GOP leadership about the possibility of canceling the upcoming congressional session and commencing the summer recess earlier than scheduled due to internal divisions concerning government funding bills.
