House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy rolled out a plan for the GOP should Republicans retake Congress in this November’s Elections.
McCarthy is preparing to take the fight to the Democrats on immigration, energy, and much more. He started the “Commitment to America” in 2020 surrounding the proposed bipartisan China Task Force. Now, his one has become 7: “Jobs and the Economy,” to clean up Biden’s economic disaster, “Future of American Freedoms,” the original “China Task Force,” “American Security, Big Tech, Censorship, and Data,” “Healthy Futures” and “Energy, Climate, and Conservation.”
McCarthy has been hard at work gathering support. So far, he has had dozens of briefings and meetings with stakeholders as well as town halls across the country.
The movement’s primary focus will strike on 4 primary themes: An Economy that’s Strong, a Nation that’s Safe, a Future that’s Built on Freedom, and a Government that’s Accountable.
The Minority Leader’s agenda is well thought out and thorough. Here is what each theme touches on as reported by the Daily Wire:
Under the first theme, An Economy that’s Strong, Republicans outlined the following:
- Fight Inflation and Lower the Cost of Living

- Maximize production of reliable, cleaner, American-made energy and cut the permitting process time in half to reduce reliance on foreign countries, prevent rolling blackouts, and lower the cost of gas and utilities
- Strengthen the Supply Chain and End Dependence on China
- Move supply chains away from China, expand U.S. manufacturing, and enhance America’s economic competitiveness and cyber resiliency
