COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina Republicans on Saturday issued a formal censure to U.S. @RepTomRice, taking the step in disapproval of his vote supporting the second impeachment of Donald Trump. pic.twitter.com/HAxCxUyouL

The censure is symbolic, but some GOP leaders say it opens the door to a tough primary fight for 2022.

“If it does, it does,” Rice told me earlier this month, acknowledging his impeachment vote could potentially cost him his seat. https://t.co/QiEjPyDyCx

P.S. Interesting that Deese already met once with the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus on topic

Thank you @BrianDeeseNEC for a productive meeting and constructive conversation. Looking forward to working together in a bipartisan fashion on COVID-19 relief and other issues facing our nation. https://t.co/U96Aeb5L6t

also that they retweeted that Rep. John Curtis from Provo Utah district just joined the Problem Solvers Caucus

I'm proud to join the @ProbSolveCaucus — I look forward to working with my bipartisan colleagues on real solutions. #utpol pic.twitter.com/4KayeTRiWX

I checked him out, he is a Republican, once was a Democrat in local offices like mayor, and a glance at his Twitter feed shows he is strongly "pro-life" and also very "pro-mask"

I think smart news junkies will beware media overemphasis on the idea that the Trump faction has taken over the GOP completely, the other guys don't make a lot of distracting noise but they are busy actually doing real stuff:

In move to head off Dem efforts to pass bill on their own, 10 GOP senators — Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Bill Cassidy, Mitt Romney, Shelley Moore Capito, Todd Young, Jerry Moran, Mike Rounds and Thom Tillis — ask Biden to meet and consider their plan. https://t.co/VYWgtZlT0h

Brian Deese, Biden’s top economic adviser, non-committal about this GOP letter, telling @DanaBashCNN they will review it and they welcome input from all sides
— Manu Raju (@mkraju) January 31, 2021

Rob Portman warns on @CNNSotu that if Dems move bill via reconciliation, it would “poison the well” for Biden and make it harder to achieve bipartisanship down the road. Argues this move is different than when GOP used reconciliation in Trump heads years

Man, @RonBrownstein just summed it up. As more and more suburban voters flee the GOP’s crazy, the more they try to compensate by pandering to Trump’s insane base of foaming idiots, which only drives the suburban voters away faster. They’re stuck, and we’re fucked.

Media: @RonBrownstein to @PamelaBrownCNN on how #Trump's @GOP looks: "There lots of those white-collar previously #Republican-leaning voters who see a coalition of @mtgreenee, people in pelts and horns and threatening to put a bullet into 'the frigging brain' of @SpeakerPelosi." pic.twitter.com/4IeDgz9AWI

Because the accelerating pace of racial, religious, cultural & economic change have alienated a significant portion of non-college, non-urban and evangelical White America to point where they will support radicals who promise to stop the change & tell them this is "our country" https://t.co/zQzUtlSHsc

It’s remarkable to see - one by one - that guys who used to be the custodians of non-partisan or rather beyond partisan political analysis come to the conclusion the two sides are not equal and in fact the GOP is a pressing threat to democracy and America itself. https://t.co/WvF3VdEcYF

Today's GOP is following the path of the Know Nothing Party of the 1850s. It deserves the same end. https://t.co/OhsLs1lcGn BruceBartlett

The office of former Pres. Donald J. Trump just released this picture of the former president with @GOPLeader Kevin McCarthy (R-Bakersfield). The two met in Florida to discuss “many topics, number one of which was taking back the House in 2022,” per the former president’s office. pic.twitter.com/0I76BApagZ
