Josh Harder the Congressman elect

from California's 10th sure sounds like a Republican
He gave all the reasons that he may not support Nancy Pelosi were the reasons that he should support her.

Seriously he is definitely a Republican lite

Typical Republican Lite reasoning

"Republican lite" is a terrible strategy for Democrats when a solid Democrat can run and win instead. But there are some places where that is virtually impossible (think Manchin and West Virginia for an example) and in those cases "Republican lite" is better than extreme Right Republican.

He can lean right if he has to and he can vote for someone else for Speaker. But until the vote he should keep his trap shut. Otherwise he's being a tool for Trump.
