Congress is in limbo until a new Speaker is elected. Policy Solutions President Jay Truitt doesn’t see a quick solution to this chaos. “Someone inside the GOP strategy circle has to feel like the people that made the marketing decisions at Bud Lite right now. They pulled off a coup and got something done that nobody else could do, but what did they get? All you did was make yourself look silly.” Truitt describes himself as a “hard-core conservative political analyst” and understands the frustration, but believes the Freedom Caucus “shot themselves in the foot with this move.” The current uncertainty in Congress will not help the farm bill process. “Everything is on hold from the farm bill to defense spending to anything else the House thought they would get done.”
