Rodney Davis has been able to effectively straddle the divide between Trump loyalists and the Republicans who speak out against former President Donald Trump’s election denial, conspiracy theories and his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol attack by pro-Trump insurrectionists. That all may soon change. He may have to pick a side. Davis is being thrust into the limelight in the highest profile assignment of his House career. Republican House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., recommended Davis for the select committee probing the Jan. 6 violence. Davis may emerge as the GOP voice of sanity and reality on the panel.
