The House Republican Conference Chair spot is officially open for bids and Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL) has thrown his hat in the ring with a hardline message about where the party went wrong. His core argument cuts through any talk of moderation: Republicans didn't lose because they were too conservative, they lost because they FAILED to deliver on the conservative policies they promised. He's making it clear he isn't interested in preserving the status quo or keeping things exactly as they are; instead he's stepping forward to give Members a genuine conservative choice and take our Conference in a new direction. The announcement frames the solution to recent losses as refusing to retreat from those principles rather than dialing them back. This leadership shakeup is part of a bigger wave coming up since House Republicans are bracing for quite the contest with Minority Leader and Minority Whip also up for grabs alongside this race.
