A Blueprint to “Restore Freedom”: Inside the GOP’s ‘Commitment to America’

It was a big weekend for Republicans after House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy unveiled the GOP’s ‘Commitment to America’ in Pennsylvania on Friday. The proposal serves as a blueprint for the Republican Party, showing Americans what the GOP plans on doing should they take control of the chamber after this year’s midterm election. The plan is driven by four key ‘pillars’ that address major issues Americans are facing — such as high inflation, crime in major cities, and more. House Republican Whip Rep. Steve Scalise joins to break down the policy goals included in the ‘Commitment to America’, respond to Democrats’ criticism of the plan, and explain how it’s uniting and motivating Republicans before the crucial November midterms.
