Oh boy. When Republicans shamble out of their dank subterranean caves, what you get is the mortifying clown show they put on during Joe Biden’s epic State of the Union address on Tuesday night. Furious and bewildered that Biden utterly owned them by baiting them into standing up—literally—in defense of Social Security and Medicare, members of the House GOP responded with infantile outbursts and puerile heckling that made Biden look, well, presidential and made them look like a phalanx of deranged uncles who always ruin Thanksgiving.

Most emblematic of all was sad-sack Kevin McCarthy, the speaker-in-name-only who desperately tried to shush his most obnoxious minions, most notably Rep. Cruella de Vil (R-GA). His utter lack of success in bringing his out-of-control caucus to heel perfectly encapsulated his feeble grip on his party, and in humiliating fashion, he had to retreat the next day and defend the “passion” of these hooligans.

Of course he did, because he has the skinniest, frailest majority the GOP has seen in quite some time. It’s not just that he can only spare a handful of votes on any given roll call; it’s that so many of his members sit in districts that Biden won. And today, we’re adding a dozen more of those vulnerable Republicans to our slate of targeted 2024 House races, which now features all 18 Biden-GOP seats. You want to take back the House, boot the pathetic McCarthy, and make Hakeem Jeffries the nation’s first Black speaker? This is where you start.
