Hello, and welcome back to Tomorrow Will Be Worse!
|

We’re back on this pre-holiday Wednesday with another Tina Nguyen banger, this one about Marjorie Taylor Greene. As much as she is both terrifying and risible—gazpacho police, anyone?—I find her to be endlessly fascinating, too. But I always thought that her migration from the far, warped edges of the Republican Party to its nerve center was mostly a function of the G.O.P.’s Overton window shifting further and further to the right. According to Tina’s reporting, however, it’s not just that. It’s also Greene’s surprising political savvy and ability to quickly learn the ropes in Congress—and master them. It’s helped her climb to the top in just two short years.
Enjoy Tina’s piece. It is, as always, utterly fascinating.

Over the past year, Greene has not only managed to ingratiate herself to formerly wary House Republicans, winning over colleagues with zealotry and charm, but has antagonized some members of the far right by openly aligning herself with Kevin McCarthy, the presumed future Speaker of the House, as he struggles to win over a handful of ultra-MAGA holdouts.
In a recent House Republican conference meeting, according to a source inside the room, M.T.G. stood up and gave a speech rallying members to stand behind McCarthy in his run... |
