"House GOP Struggles to Unify Amid Bitter Primary Battles and Policy Debates"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by New York Post

House Republicans emerged from their annual retreat at a swanky resort with bitter divisions and low attendance, as former President Donald Trump declined an invite and speaker Larry Kudlow dropped out. Frustrations over low productivity, inner party strife, and a shrinking majority have catalyzed a wave of retirements, while GOP leadership emphasized unity and the need to avoid infighting. They expressed optimism about their party's prospects and legislative agenda, downplaying the impact of party retirements and emphasizing their antipathy toward President Biden. The retreat also addressed ongoing legislative battles over government funding and aid to Ukraine, with a focus on recalibrating messaging and policy objectives.
