A Bad Night for House Republicans

New York Times: “Voters nearly always dislike Congress, but Tuesday was a vivid illustration of just how toxic the taint of Washington may be in 2018. The night was a near-wipeout for members of the House seeking higher office.”

Playbook: “Rep. Evan Jenkins got his clock cleaned in the West Virginia Senate primary. Indiana Reps. Luke Messer and Todd Rokita spent months whacking at each other in the Indiana Senate primary, allowing Mike Braun to waltz in and say, ‘wait, both of these guys are D.C. flunkies. Vote for me.’ North Carolina GOP Rep. Robert Pittenger — who piqued the attention of the FBI in the recent past — lost.”

“When House Republicans popped their heads up to take bigger roles, voters said ‘no thanks.'”
