Analysis: Some senior Republicans are using legislative and oversight tools to defend and boost former president Donald Trump, an unusual move for an open presidential primary.

Still more than 10 months until the first caucuses of the GOP presidential nominating contest, the House Republican conference appears more and more as if it has taken sides with the former president — even though the 2024 race is considered an open primary with a couple of already declared candidates and several more getting ready to enter the race.

And oftentimes a House majority, against the opposing party’s president, will launch oversight investigations of the administration that can have a clear political benefit of wounding the incumbent president’s standing by exposing some wrongdoing. Those House investigations into President Biden’s handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal and his family’s personal financial dealings fall into that category.

That follows McCarthy’s decision to provide access to thousands of hours of security videos from Jan. 6, 2021, to Fox News personality Tucker Carlson for a report that also tried to downplay the pro-Trump mob’s behavior on that day.midterms Just five GOP senators have endorsed Trump so far, about 1 in 10, and almost everyone else is staying out of the endorsement game and not trying to use their legislative perch to help the ex-president.
