When House Speaker Kevin McCarthy was asked Wednesday what he learned from his debt default negotiations with the White House, he said that going forward, if Republicans stick together they will be able to "eliminate the wokeism... eliminate the waste" in spending.
McCarthy's response to conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt is the latest example of how the goals of Congressional Republicans register among voters who aren't thoroughly steeped in the culture of MAGA grievance.
Not only do most Americans view the term "woke" in a positive light, but new polling from the progressive consortium Navigator Research also reveals the increasingly dismal view voters have of House Republicans, their priorities, and the job they are doing for the American people.
