Problem Solvers Caucus Has a Problem

Rep. Nick LaLota (R., N.Y.) said at least five or 10 Republicans in the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus, including himself, are considering breaking up the group in frustration, after centrist Democrats declined to help Kevin McCarthy hang on to the speakership. “This was supposed to be a time when Problem Solvers were supposed to drop their partisanship and do what’s right for America,” LaLota said. “I’m tremendously disappointed that nobody – no Democrat Problem Solver – stepped up to do so, and I’m reassessing if I’ll remain a member of that caucus.”
