Birthdays: Rep. Alan Silvia

“Previously I could count on dozens of [GOP friends] in the moderate vein that I worked with. Now it’s become much more difficult,” he said. “Many of those members left on their own, they didn’t lose elections, they just chose not to follow the Trump agenda and they chose not to seek office again, and that’s troubling. The ones that are coming in now, they have to follow the script, which is disappointing as well.”
