“This should not be about personalities. It should be about policy,” House Speaker Mike Johnson said Tuesday.
Rep. Richard Hudson , the chair of House National Republican Campaign Committee , was one of the leaders who led the closed-door meeting, during which he and others said that attacks on Harris should instead focus on her political record.
“This should not be about personalities. It should be about policy. And we have a record to compare,” House Speaker Rep. Glenn Grothman caught flak on Sunday for saying “a lot of Democrats feel they have to stick with her because of her ethnic background.” Rep. Tim Burchett also made a similar comment on Monday, telling CNN political reporter Manu Raju that Harris was a “DEI vice president”—and that President Joe Biden had “skipped over” others when he selected her as his running mate. “What about white females? What about any other group?” he added.
