Over recent days, Representative Thomas Massie has warned that the decision by House Speaker Mike Johnson to avoid a vote on releasing Jeffrey Epstein-related files could have significant political repercussions for Republicans in the upcoming midterm elections. He argues that withholding the vote risks alienating key voter segments and undermining party promises. Massie emphasizes that transparency and accountability on the issue are necessary to maintain support, while criticizing party leadership for their handling of the matter and early August recess timing, which he believes may ultimately jeopardize the GOP’s hold on the House majority.
