The Republican establishment doesn't know it yet, but last weekend was a watershed moment for their party.
The vote will be remembered for the choice Republican leadership made to brazenly reject its own voters in favor of the "Uniparty" in Washington, D.C. In a move that can only be described as "McConnell-esque," House Republican leadership teamed up with Democrats to overrule the position of their own conference, their voters, and the will of the American people.
According to recent polling that The Heritage Foundation conducted with RMG Research, an overwhelming three out of four swing voters opposed sending any additional aid to Ukraine without also allocating funds for our own border.
In an unprecedented move, we even issued a "Key vote" on our legislative scorecard against Speaker Johnson's convoluted rule, which was a gimmick that lowered the threshold to a simple majority and provided political cover for members to vote against individual pieces without jeopardizing the package.
The average age of the Senate Republicans who voted "Nay" is 59, while the average age of those who voted "Yea" is 66.
The average "Nay" vote has been in office since just 2016, while the average "Yea" vote has been in Washington since 2010.
The GOP establishment's actions this past week portend the end of the GOP establishment, not its survival.
