Inside the GOP's tense fallout with the big business lobby
CNN
What started as a polite discussion about small business soon turned into a heated confrontation between unusual opponents -- Republican members of the House and their party's old friends at the US Chamber of Commerce.
Republican lawmakers were blunt with the Chamber's lobbyist, Tom Sullivan, calling him on the carpet about the organization's decision to endorse so many Democrats in the 2020 election, including 23 House freshmen in competitive districts. Rep. Claudia Tenney, a Republican from New York, was particularly upset the Chamber backed a Democrat against her. Recalling the encounter to CNN last week, Tenney said she asked Sullivan, "Why did you endorse someone who is against all the policies, who's, like, voted for everything in New York that really was not really good for business, but was good for the trial bar, and it exposed many of us to liability?"More Related News
