"Marjorie Taylor Greene Supports GOP Challenger Amid House GOP Civil War"

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene endorsed a primary challenger against House Freedom Caucus Chairman Bob Good, criticizing him as disloyal to Trump. Good, who recently endorsed Trump, faces backlash from MAGA circles for not doing so earlier. Greene's endorsement further distances her from the ultra-conservative group she was once part of, after being ousted last year. The primary challenger, Virginia state Sen. John McGuire, is backed by Greene in the midst of a House GOP civil war as the 2024 election stirs tensions.

"Republicans Face Disappointing Speaker Candidate Options in US House"

House Republicans will nominate a new candidate for speaker, marking their third attempt to fill the position after Kevin McCarthy's ouster. The GOP's previous picks failed to secure enough votes, leaving the House in chaos with a possible government shutdown looming. The next nominee will need the support of 217 GOP lawmakers, a challenging task given the party's razor-thin majority. Voting by secret ballot, Republicans will narrow down the eight declared candidates to one, but even then, there is no guarantee of winning the speaker's gavel in a public floor vote. The GOP's leadership crisis has raised concerns about American leadership and the functioning of democratic institutions.

"Washington Braces for Showdown as Shutdown Looms and GOP Plays Politics"

President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump are set to engage in a direct showdown as far-right House Republicans push for a government shutdown. Trump is goading his loyalists to shut down Washington in an effort to sow dysfunction on Biden's watch and advance his political goals for a potential 2024 run. Meanwhile, Biden and Trump will campaign in Michigan, a swing state, with Biden facing a strike in the auto industry that exposes a fault line between his support for union workers and his plans for an electric vehicle revolution. The GOP's deepening civil war risks making the country ungovernable, and the rebels are demanding massive spending cuts that they have no power to force the Democratic-run Senate and White House to accept.
