The article title is over the top but talk about biting the hand that gives you campaign contributions: How do they think that shunning the heretics of the Chamber of Commerce for daring to support any Democrats, even business friendly ones, is helpful to their drive to stay in power?
McCarthy, Scalise go to war with U.S. Chamber after group backed some Democrats in 2020 and 2022 elections
“The priorities of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce have not aligned with the priorities of House Republicans or the interests of their own members, and they should not expect a meeting with Speaker McCarthy as long as that’s the case,” Mark Bednar, a chief spokesman for McCarthy, told CNBC in a statement.
Scalise also won’t meet with the Chamber, according to spokeswoman Lauren Fine.
“Washington has radically shifted away from the pro-business philosophy of most local Chambers across America,” she said. Fine also took aim at the Chamber’s move to endorse Democrats running for House seats and said that “unless the Chamber gets back to their traditional pro-business roots, they should not expect to have any engagement with Majority Leader Scalise’s office.”
