Small donors played a pivotal role in financing both Democratic and Republican campaigns in the 2020 election. And with Donald Trump in Florida and President Joe Biden taking his place in the White House, it remains unclear whether small donations will continue to pour in for either party.
On Jan. 20, Biden took office and Vice President Kamala Harrisswore in Georgia Sens. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) and Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.), establishing the Democratic Party’s control of the White House and Senate on the same day. And as the GOP’s reign in Washington comes to an end, so have its relationships with some corporate power players who have historically been influential supporters of the Republican Party.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy has broken his silence on Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, condemning her incendiary remarks but stopping short of naming any party disciplinary action toward her. The Democratic-led House announced earlier on Wednesday that it would move forward with a resolution to punish Greene. Past comments from and endorsed by Marjorie Taylor Greene on school shootings, political violence, and anti-Semitic conspiracy theories do not represent the values or beliefs of the House Republican Conference, McCarthy said in a statement early Wednesday evening.

McCarthy said he met with Greene and made clear that as a member of Congress we have a responsibility to hold ourselves to a higher standard than how she presented herself as a private citizen. He went on to criticize Democrats for Thursday s planned vote to remove Greene from her committee assignments.

Republican House leaders have a meeting planned Wednesday that could decide Cheney's fate, while a vote by Democrats to strip Greene of her committee assignments could happen the same day.
