Matt Boyle, the national political editor at Breitbart News, said Republican members of the U.S. House of Representatives need to “put the heat directly on” President Joe Biden from now until the November 5 General Election in order to “save America.”
Boyle, discussing the recent Motion to Vacate filed against House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA-04), said changing speakers does not change the chamber’s voting makeup, adding that Johnson “must play the hand he’s dealt.”
“I don’t think it would be wise to do a vacate motion against Johnson now in an election year. What they need to do is they need to get their team together and understand that we have six months to save America. They need to bring the heat directly to Joe Biden. They need to use the majority, and the Republicans need to learn how to fight fire with fire. They’ve got plenty of deadly facts against the Biden family and their corruption. They need to learn how to weaponize information back the other way,” Boyle explained on Wednesday’s edition of The Michael Patrick Leahy Show.
“This is a fight for the future of the country. They need to start acting like it. If the Republicans get their collective you-know-what together and start putting lead on target with regard to Biden, I think speaker Johnson will be okay. He will, possibly, pay a price for this stuff down the road, but I think he’s got to focus exclusively on putting the heat directly on Joe Biden over the course of the next six months,” Boyle added. “Republicans need to get it together.”
Pivoting to the 2024 presidential race, Boyle, who has interviewed former President Donald Trump on multiple occasions, said he believes the former president “feels positive” about his current standing in the race among voters.
“I think [Trump] feels as though, not that he has it in the bag, but he understands that the left is going to do all sorts of different funky things to try to screw with him. I do think that he feels positive about where things stand. You look across the battleground states, he’s leading. You look at the national polls, he’s leading. This is something that he never had in 2016 or 2020. He was never leading, basically anywhere,” Boyle explained.
Despite Trump’s lead in the polls, Boyle acknowledged the fight ahead and how Democrats may have some hidden tricks ahead of the election.
“Things are looking good for [Trump]. That being said, he understands that there’s a major fight ahead of him and that we’ve got seven months until election day, we have a long road ahead of us, and the Democrats are going to try all sorts of different things. They’re going to do the continued lawfare, I’m sure there’s some surprises that are coming that we’ve never seen before from the radical left and from the Democrats. That being said, things are looking very positive right now for Donald Trump and he knows it. So it’s his election to lose at this point, and I think he understands that,” Boyle said.

Yes, the focus has to be on OBiden and not intra party bickering. As it is today, the democrats vote as a block with no public dissention. We have too many Republicans who, by their conduct and self-promotion, are causing a congressional stalemate. Focus on OBiden, get that squatter out of the White House forcing him to take his boss (Barry) with him. Assist other Republicans win congressional seats. Given the mess Obiden has created, there is no viable reason the House and Senate could not be the majority, possibly even a super majority.
