Washington, D.C. – This week, the Congressional Integrity Project released 17 new reports, each detailing how MAGA House Republicans, like the Biden-Harris 17, wasted the entirety of the 118th Congress pushing Trump’s radical Project 2025 political agenda.
MAGA House Republicans spent the 118th Congress working up legislation that would take away food aid and Medicaid from tens of millions of Americans, impose restrictions on investing, rip away hundreds of billions of dollars from businesses’ climate subsidies, and raise health care costs for over 100 million Americans with pre-existing conditions. MAGA House Republicans have spent the past 90 weeks using Congress as an arm of the Trump campaign – all while blatantly ignoring their campaign promises and turning a blind eye to the wishes of their constituents.
Congressional Integrity Project executive director, Kyle Herrig, issued the following statement:
“MAGA House Republicans have spent their time in the majority pushing the wrong priorities, and the Biden-Harris 17 fell right in line with their radical colleagues. They have voted over and over again for bills that do not address any of the important priorities of Americans across the country like the cost of living or reproductive rights, and pursued baseless stunt investigations into Trump’s political opponents while failing to uncover a single shred of evidence of wrongdoing by the administration. MAGA House Republicans have spent the 118th Congress doing Donald Trump’s bidding, threatening our democracy and freedoms, and acting as an arm of the Trump campaign.”
The Biden-Harris 17 are the 17 House Republicans currently representing a district won by Biden-Harris in 2020. They include: Don Bacon (NE-2), Lori Chavez-Deremer (OR-5), Juan Ciscomani (AZ-6), Anthony D’Esposito (NY-4), John Duarte (CA-13), Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-1), Mike Garcia (CA-27), Tom Kean, Jr. (NJ-7), Jen Kiggans (VA-2), Young Kim (CA-40), Nick LaLota (NY-1), Mike Lawler (NY-17), Marc Molinaro (NY-19), David Schweikert (AZ-1), Michelle Steel (CA-45), David Valadao (CA-22), and Brandon Williams (NY-22).
