France election: calls begin for voters to block far-right Le Pen

As in 2017 and 2002, question is whether leftwing voters should back centrist or not vote at all

• France faces bruising runoff after Macron and Le Pen top first-round vote

France now faces a frantic electoral fortnight after Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen made it to the second round of the presidential election, with the two remaining candidates attempting to convince the country’s voters – many of whom do not support them – that they deserve their vote in a fortnight.

For many of France’s almost 48 million voters, this will be a difficult time, particularly for those on the left of the political spectrum. Many will be asking themselves whether to select what they consider the least bad option between the centrist Emmanuel Macron or far-right Marine Le Pen , or stay at home and not vote at all.

There will be calls to persuade them to vote for Macron in a “republican barrage” to stop the far right entering the Élysée. The term dates from a time when the far right was seen as beyond the pale and not representative of the values of the French Republic, but is now contested after Le Pen’s efforts to detoxify her National Rally party.

The same calls were heard in 2017, when Macron also faced off against Le Pen, and in 2002, when Jacques Chirac faced her father, Jean-Marie Le Pen.

For supporters of the radical left candidate, Jean-Luc Mélenchon , who came third in the first round, this may be too bitter a pill to swallow.

He told his voters on Sunday: “We know who we will never vote for. Don’t give your votes for Madame Le Pen. We must not give a single vote for Madame Le Pen.” But leftwing voters like Stéphane Van Son, 62, a former travel agent, from Paris, a onetime Parti Socialiste voter turned Mélenchon supporter, have been left politically orphaned by Sunday’s result. “It’s terrible. I don’t know. I just don’t know,” he said. “It’s the choice between the plague and cholera. I’m not even sure I will even go and vote in two weeks.”

He added: “The left is in pieces and despite all his faults, I believe Jean-Luc Mélenchon was the only candidate who could change things. Instead we had all these micro-candidates on the left. It was pitiful.”

Moroccan-born French citizen Hamid Chriet, 35, a political commentator and Mélenchon supporter, said many voters felt frustrated. “I think I will not vote in the second round,” he said. “Seriously, I’m not bothered now. I don’t want Emmanuel Macron and I don’t want Marine Le Pen. For me they’re the same.”

Chriet added: “It’s obvious that there is a deep democratic crisis. Since the yellow vests crisis nothing has been rebuilt. The greatest political force in France is now ‘ degagisme ’ [clear off],” Chriet said. “We can imagine that Mélenchon’s revenge will be in the legislative elections [in June].”

Opinion polls published before the first vote suggest Macron will win the second round against Le Pen on 24 April by 52% to 48%.

A key campaign moment in the next two weeks will be a debate between Macron, 44, and Le Pen, 53, which could sway undecided voters. In 2017, the two-and-a-half hour debate saw Macron and Le Pen trade personal insults, and the far right candidate’s aggressive performance was declared not just unconvincing, but damaging.

Vital to who will become France’s next president will be the decision of voters for eliminated first-round candidates.

After the result, the mainstream-right candidate Valérie Pécresse of Les Républicains said she would vote for Macron in the second round. She said this was a personal decision, but she advised supporters to think carefully about voting otherwise.

“I believe like Jacques Chirac, that everything in France’s soul rejects extremism,” she said. “Marine Le Pen’s project would lead the country to disorder, weakness and failure.”

On the left, the Communist party candidate Fabien Roussel, the Ecology party candidate Yannick Jadot and the Socialist party candidate Anne Hidalgo have already said they will call for a vote to prevent Le Pen reaching the Élysée – rather than a vote for Macron.

A Harris Interactive study examined possible second-round intentions to vote in a runoff between Macron and Le Pen. It found 34% of Mélenchon voters would vote for Macron and 21% Le Pen, but 45% would abstain or spoil their vote. Only 8% of Éric Zemmour voters would support Macron and 84% Le Pen, and only 8% would abstain. As expected, Zemmour called on them to back her on Sunday – despite “the differences we have had”.

Of those who voted for Hidalgo, 53% could vote for Macron and 16% for Le Pen, but 31% would abstain; those for Pécresse would vote 46% for Macron, 33% for Le Pen, and 21% abstain.

Modern French presidents have had a hard time getting re-elected for a second term in office. The previous two French leaders, the Socialist party’s François Hollande and the mainstream right president Nicolas Sarkozy, served only one term, and the conservative Chirac only won his second presidential election because voters supported him against the surprise second-round rival Jean-Marie Le Pen, Marine’s father, of the far-right Front National. After France’s postwar leader Charles de Gaulle, only one other president has won two terms: the socialist François Mitterrand, who led France from 1981 to 1995.

House passes key foreign aid package

By Kaanita Iyer, Shania Shelton and Isabelle D'Antonio, CNN

The House just voted on a potential TikTok ban (again). Now what?

From CNN's Brian Fung

House lawmakers have once again passed legislation that could lead to a nationwide TikTok ban, renewing a massive threat to the company’s US operations.

Here’s what we know, and how it could affect you:

Didn’t the House vote on something like this recently?

Yes. In March, House lawmakers approved a bill that would give TikTok roughly six months to sell or the app would be prohibited from US app stores and from “internet hosting services” that support it.

What makes this bill different?

Instead of a six-month deadline, TikTok would have roughly nine months, which could be extended by President Joe Biden by 90 days if he determines there’s been progress toward a sale. Also, the bill has now been inserted into a larger foreign aid package, which makes it much harder for lawmakers to oppose the measure.

Could the Senate vote on the foreign aid package without the TikTok language?

Senators could try to strip out the TikTok legislation, but policy analysts view it as unlikely, as quickly approving the foreign aid is a top congressional priority.

What does this mean for my use of the app?

If the Senate votes to approve the TikTok legislation, it heads to the desk of Biden, who endorsed the prior version of the bill and may quickly sign any foreign aid package that includes similar language targeting TikTok.

In theory, that would start the 270-day clock for TikTok to find a buyer. If it can’t separate from its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, then users could be cut off. But that is still a big “if.”

The House passed a key foreign aid package. Catch up on what happened

The House on Saturday passed a key package that provides aid to Ukraine, Israel and the Indo-Pacific region, while also addressing GOP legislative priorities, such as sanctions on Iran and a potential ban on TikTok.

Here's what you need to know:

It's a $95 billion package

• The bills provide nearly $61 billion for Ukraine, more than $26 billion for Israel and more than $8 billion for Indo-Pacific security.

The package could lead to a TikTok ban

• The fourth bill in the package would place sanctions on the seizure of frozen Russian sovereign assets and a measure that could lead to a  nationwide ban of TikTok . 
• If passed, the bill would give the app's Chinese parent company, ByteDance, nine months to sell the social media company or it would be banned from US app stores.

How the House voted on each measure

• Ukraine aid: 311-112. This was the most contentious bill and it received unanimous support from Democrats, while Republicans were split.
• Israel aid: 366-58
• Indo-Pacific aid: 385-34
• TikTok and Iran sanctions bill : 360-58

What happens next

• The legislation will be combined into one amendment before being sent to the Senate, where lawmakers will begin voting on it Tuesday. 
• The Senate is likely to pass the package, which would then head to President Joe Biden , who has signaled that he would sign it.

Speaker Johnson's job is safe, for now

• Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said she won’t move forward with her  motion to vacate House Speaker Mike Johnson on Saturday to allow her GOP colleagues to hear from their constituents during the one-week recess.

Palestinian official condemns vote by US House for aid package to Israel

From CNN's Eyad Kourdi

Nabil Abu Rudeineh, the spokesperson for Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, voiced strong condemnation of the US House's approval of a $26 billion aid package for Israel, claiming the funding will directly correlate to the increasing number of Palestinian casualties, according to a statement published Saturday by WAFA, the official Palestinian agency.

Abu Rudeineh criticized the support, claiming it gives Israel the green light to broaden the war across the region and undermines the prospects for regional and global stability.

"US security aid [to Israel] constitutes a dangerous escalation and aggression against the Palestinian people," Abu Rudeineh added.

19 House Progressive Caucus members say Israel aid bill "could result in more killings of civilians"

From CNN's Philip Wang and Sahar Akbarzai

Nineteen members of the House Progressive Caucus who voted against further aid to Israel said Saturday that “we make ourselves complicit in this tragedy” if Congress continues to supply military assistance amid the humanitarian crisis in Gaza .

More than 34,000 people have been killed in Gaza since the Israel-Hamas war began in October, according to the Ministry of Health there.

The statement also called for a ceasefire in Gaza, more humanitarian aid to be delivered, and peace talks to begin.

“When faced with the question of whether to provide offensive aid to further this conflict, we believe there is a moral imperative to find another path," the statement said.

These are the 19 progressive members who voted against the measure: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Nydia Velázquez of New York; Joaquin Castro, Lloyd Doggett and Greg Casar of Texas; Pramila Jayapal of Washington; Ro Khanna, Mark Takano, Barbara Lee and Judy Chu of California; Becca Balint of Vermont; Jim McGovern of Massachusetts; Earl Blumenauer of Oregon; Hank Johnson of Georgia; André Carson of Indiana; Bonnie Watson Coleman of New Jersey; Jesús García and Jonathan Jackson of Illinois; and Jill Tokuda of Hawaii.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin says foreign aid bills will allow department "to surge lifesaving security assistance"

From CNN's Samantha Waldenberg

US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Saturday celebrated the House's passage of a $95 billion foreign aid package for Ukraine, Israel and the Indo-Pacific.

“This bipartisan legislation will allow the Department to surge lifesaving security assistance to help Ukraine defend itself from Russia's aggression, support Israel's defense from Iran and its proxies, and increase the flow of urgently needed humanitarian aid to suffering Palestinian civilians in Gaza,” he said in a statement.

Austin added that the package of bills will “save lives” and that the “world is watching” what the United States does.

"We have seen yet again that the troubles of our times will only worsen without strong, steady U.S. leadership to advance our core security interests," Austin said, adding, "We must never give our friends, our rivals, or our foes any reason to doubt America's resolve."

"We have not been forgotten": Ukrainian troops describe morale boost from US House vote

From CNN's Daria Tarasova-Markina and Andrew Carey in Kyiv

Ukrainian servicemen told CNN the US House vote to approve military aid provides a much-needed shot in the arm.

“We thought that our partners had forgotten about us,” an intelligence officer who is serving in the Zaporizhzhia region said in a phone conversation. “This news gives us a sense of support and understanding that we have not been forgotten.”

An artillery reconnaissance commander who spent two years defending the town of Avdiivka before it fell to Russia in February had a similar message.

“When we feel support from the outside, it motivates us. After all, the military knows it cannot win with sticks and bows and arrows,” he told CNN. “For people who want to defeat the enemy, this news is a great morale booster.”

Russian Foreign Ministry says US foreign aid package will "exacerbate global crises"

From CNN's Fred Pleitgen in Kyiv and Matt Meyer

A foreign aid package passed by the US House of Representatives will “exacerbate global crises,” Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said in a statement to CNN on Saturday.

Zakharova said that in addition to the package's "military aid to the Kyiv regime," the bills would support Taiwan's "interference in China’s internal affairs" and allow Israel to continue "a direct path toward escalating unprecedented aggravation in the region."

Some context: Russia, which is aligned with China and Iran on the global stage, has long painted US aid to Ukraine as American interventionism and an attempt to assert Western influence in the region.

Ukraine has said aid from Washington is critical as it continues to fight back against the full-scale invasion Moscow launched into its territory in February 2022.

Greene and Massie rail on Johnson, say more Republicans will join their effort to oust him after speaking to their constituents

From CNN’s Morgan Rimmer, Manu Raju and Haley Talbot

GOP Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie railed on House Speaker Mike Johnson and his handling of the foreign aid bills, despite deciding not to move to oust the speaker Saturday.

Greene argued that more House Republicans will support their effort after going home over recess and speaking with their constituents.

“I'm actually gonna let my colleagues go home and hear from their constituents, because I think people have been too obsessed with voting for foreign wars and the murder industry here in America to actually understand how angry Americans are,” the Georgia Republican told CNN.

Massie, a Kentucky Republican, added that they are giving Johnson the chance to resign, although the speaker has insisted he won’t . Massie added he believes a motion to vacate — a rarely used procedural tool to remove the House speaker — will happen eventually.

“I'm pretty sure one will come to the floor, if he doesn't resign at some point, but we're trying to avoid that,” he said. 

Greene insisted their effort to oust Johnson is gaining momentum, adding that the speaker is "a lame duck." Rep. Paul Gosar Friday signed on to the effort Friday, becoming the third member to do so.

“If we had the vote today in our conference, he would not be speaker today. He's already a lame duck, he can't raise money, everyone knows it,” Greene claimed.

Vulnerable House Republicans praise Johnson for handling of foreign aid bills

From CNN's Morgan Rimmer

Several swing-district House Republicans praised Speaker Mike Johnson for pushing forward with the foreign aid bills and attacked his detractors.

Republican Rep. Marc Molinaro, a vulnerable New York freshman lawmaker, told CNN’s Manu Raju that after speaking with his constituents, “It is clear to me that there are moments in time where we must do the right thing, and today we did that.”

He defended Johnson for waiting for months to hold votes on aid for critical allies Israel and Ukraine, saying the speaker had to build bipartisan consensus in "a very complicated Congress." Molinaro said he hoped Johnson’s detractors do not attempt to oust him, warning them that Congress is not “only supposed to do what they want.”

Rep. Jen Kiggans, a vulnerable Republican from Virginia, also praised the speaker.

“I'm very proud of Mike Johnson. I know what he did today was difficult, but there was a lot of us standing by him, and you saw great bipartisan effort today. And that's what Americans want to see,” she said.

Kiggans criticized the GOP hardliners who have pushed for Johnson’s ouster over the foreign aid package, saying, "It frustrates me when we have members of our conference who are isolationist; who don't believe in standing with our allies.”

Présidentielle: les appels et consignes de vote des candidats battus pour le second tour

Jean-luc mélenchon insiste: "ne pas donner de voix à marine le pen".

Troisième de ce premier tour de l’ élection présidentielle 2022 , Jean-Luc Mélenchon a répété à plusieurs reprises ce dimanche soir son opposition à Marine Le Pen . "Nous savons pour qui nous ne voterons jamais, a affirmé le candidat de La France insoumise. Pour le reste, comme je vous l’ai dit il y a cinq ans, les Français sont capables de décider ce qu’il est bon de faire. Vous ne devez pas donner une voix à Madame Le Pen. Je répète, il ne faut pas donner une seule voix à Madame Le Pen."

La gauche et les écologistes appellent à voter pour Emmanuel Macron

Yannick Jadot, le candidat d’Europe Ecologie-Les Verts, appelle à "faire barrage à l’extrême droite" en votant pour Emmanuel Macron. Le message est le même de la part de Fabien Roussel (Parti communiste) et Anne Hidalgo (Parti socialiste). Philippe Poutou (NPA), lui, ne veut pas donner de consigne de vote pour Emmanuel Macron. "Notre consigne de vote est claire: pas une voix ne doit aller à l'extrême droite, a-t-il expliqué depuis son QG. Pour autant, nous ne donnerons pas de consigne de vote en faveur de Macron, car c'est un pompier pyromane dont les politiques sont une des causes de la montée du RN."

Nathalie Arthaud, la candidate de Lutte ouvrière, renvoie dos à dos Emmanuel Macron et Marine Le Pen, sans donner de consigne de vote, les présentant comme "deux ennemis mortels pour les travailleurs". Jean Lassalle ne donne pas non plus de consigne de vote.

Valérie Pécresse choisit Emmanuel Macron

Valérie Pécresse, la candidate de LR qui présente un score historiquement bas pour le parti traditionnel de la droite (5%), a clairement annoncé son vote pour Emmanuel Macron au second tour. "Je suis profondément inquiète pour l'avenir de notre pays, alors que l'extrême droite n'a jamais été aussi proche de s'imposer, a-t-elle expliqué. J'ai construit mon engagement politique contre les extrêmes. Je crois comme Jacques Chirac que tout dans l'âme de la France dit non aux extrémismes. L'élection de Marine Le Pen conduirait à l'effacement de la France. Je voterai, en conscience, Emmanuel Macron pour empêcher l'arrivée de Marine Le Pen au pouvoir et le chaos qui en résulterait. Je demande aux électrices et aux électeurs qui m'ont honorée de leur confiance de peser dans les jours qui viennent avec gravité les conséquences potentiellement désastreuses pour notre pays et pour les générations futures de tout choix différent du mien qu'ils envisageraient pour le second tour."

En revanche, Eric Ciotti, le finaliste de la primaire LR, a refusé de donner une consigne de vote pour le second tour. "Je ne me reconnais pas dans (la) politique (d'Emmanuel Macron), je ne le soutiendrai pas", a affirmé le député des Alpes-Maritimes sur TF1.

Eric Zemmour "ne négocie pas" son soutien à Marine Le Pen

Après sa quatrième place au premier tour, avec environ 7% des suffrages, Eric Zemmour a affirmé qu’il ne négocierait pas son vote en faveur de Marine Le Pen. "Je ne peux pas rester les bras croisés, a assuré l’autre candidat d’extrême droite. J’ai bien des désaccords avec Marine Le Pen. Je ne me tromperai pas d’adversaire. C’est la raison pour laquelle j’appelle mes électeurs à voter pour Marine Le Pen. Il y a quelque chose de beaucoup plus grand que nous tous et c’est la France. Certains auraient voulu que je négocie ces quelques mots, mais je ne suis pas un marchand." Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, 9e avec 2,1%, appelle également à voter pour la candidate du RN pour "faire barrage" à Emmanuel Macron.

Comme en 2017, Jean-Luc Mélenchon ne donnera pas non plus de consigne s’il ne parvient pas au second tour. « J’ai toujours dit qu’on ne donne pas de voix à l’extrême droite. Et pardon de vous dire que ce n’est pas vraiment une bonne idée pour moi que d’appeler à voter pour des gens que je combats continuellement ».

« Ce n’est pas pareil Monsieur Macron et Madame Le Pen, nous en sommes bien d’accord, mais admettez qu’il y a quand même beaucoup de choses en commun entre les deux » , a-t-il insisté sur BFM TV ce vendredi. Le candidat a cependant annoncé qu’il sonderait les 320 000 personnes qui ont parrainé sa candidature.

► Ceux qui appellent à voter Emmanuel Macron pour faire barrage à l’extrême droite

Fabien Roussel tient une position claire depuis le début de la campagne : en cas de deuxième tour Macron/Le Pen, le candidat communiste appellera à voter Emmanuel Macron pour « empêcher l’extrême droite de mettre la main sur le pays » .

« Je l’ai toujours dit, jamais nous et c’est l’histoire du parti communiste, ne laisserons l’extrême droite gagner et nous ferons tout pour l’en empêcher » , a-t-il réaffirmé ce vendredi sur France 2 . Le candidat du PCF met d’ailleurs en avant « une différence avec d’autres à gauche » , visant sans le nommer Jean-Luc Mélenchon.

Le positionnement du candidat LFI est également critiqué par Anne Hidalgo . « La gauche dont je viens et que j’incarne a toujours dit non à l’extrême droite » , a-t-elle déclaré. Interrogée à nouveau sur le sujet sur France 2 jeudi 7 avril, elle a réaffirmé qu’elle appellerait « à faire barrage à l’extrême droite » . « C’est ma boussole, et je le ferai » , a ajouté la candidate socialiste, sans citer le nom d’Emmanuel Macron.

► Ceux qui tergiversent encore

Certains candidats n’ont pas encore une position claire. C’est le cas de Yannick Jadot , qui, interrogé sur sa consigne de vote en cas de second tour Mélenchon/Macron sur France Inter le 22 mars, a contourné l’obstacle en assurant qu’il se « concentrait » sur le premier tour. « On verra le second tour, mais pour le premier ne vous trompez pas » , avait-il dit. Lors d’un déplacement le 31 mars à Ivry, le candidat Europe Écologie-Les Verts a cependant affirmé que « les écologistes n’ont jamais hésité à construire des fronts républicains contre l’extrême droite » .

Lors du second tour en 2017, Yannick Jadot avait d’ailleurs dénoncé « l’irresponsabilité politique » de Jean-Luc Mélenchon, affirmant que lui n’hésitait pas une seconde à voter Emmanuel Macron contre le « projet raciste » de Marine Le Pen.

Éric Zemmour n’a lui non plus rien dévoilé. Si Marine Le Pen est persuadée que les électeurs Reconquête la soutiendront face au président sortant, Éric Zemmour a toujours refusé de dire s’il appellerait à voter pour elle. « Moi je serai au second tour. Je n’ai pas à me mettre dans un autre cas de figure » , a-t-il répété le 7 avril sur LCI . « Je n’appellerai pas à voter pour Emmanuel Macron, ça c’est sûr » , avait toutefois affirmé le candidat d’extrême droite quelques semaines plus tôt.

► Ceux qui ne se sont pas exprimés

Si les autres candidats ne se sont pas encore exprimés sur le sujet, ils ont tous été dans la même situation en 2017. Jean Lassalle, Nathalie Artaud et Philippe Poutou, avait appelé à voter blanc. Nicolas Dupont-Aignan avait lui appelé à voter Marine Le Pen.

Second Republican backs effort to oust Speaker Mike Johnson from power

WASHINGTON — A second House Republican said he will support an effort to oust Speaker Mike Johnson from power over his handling of foreign aid for Ukraine and other issues.

Rep. Thomas Massie, of Kentucky, who is a member of Johnson's own Rules Committee, said he informed the speaker directly in a closed-door meeting of House Republicans on Tuesday that he is co-sponsoring a resolution offered by far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., to remove Johnson, R-La., from the top job.

"He should pre-announce his resignation (as Boehner did), so we can pick a new Speaker without ever being without a GOP speaker," Massie wrote on X , referring to former GOP Speaker John Boehner, who resigned in the middle of his term in 2015 while facing a similar conservative rebellion from Massie and others.

In addition to objections over Ukraine aid, Massie also faulted Johnson for pushing through a massive government funding package this year and passing a bill to renew a controversial intelligence spying tool last week .

"He's going for the trifecta, the Triple Crown," Massie.

"There are people riding him like a horse here. They don't care if the horse collapses," Massie added. "I do because it's going to throw our conference into turmoil."

Johnson told rank-and-file House Republicans in the room that he won’t resign, Massie said, a point he reiterated to reporters.

“I am not resigning. And it is in my view an absurd notion that someone would bring a vacate motion when we are simply here trying to do our jobs,” Johnson said after the private meeting. “It is not helpful to the country. It does not help the House Republicans advance our agenda which is in the best interest of the American people here: a secure border, sound governance — and it’s not helpful to the unity that we have in the body.”

He added: “I am not concerned about this. I am going to do my job.”

With the GOP majority hanging by a thread, Johnson can afford only two GOP defections if Greene files her motion as "privileged," forcing a floor vote to vacate the speaker's chair. To successfully remove him, at least three Republicans — and all Democrats — would then need to vote for the motion to vacate.

Some Democrats, however, have said they would vote to save Johnson to prevent the House from spiraling out of control, similar to what happened last fall after conservatives toppled then-Speaker Kevin McCarthy , ushering in three weeks of chaos and ultimately paving the way for Johnson's ascent.

"Massie wants the world to burn, I won't stand by and watch. I have a bucket of water," Rep. Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla., wrote on X.

It’s unclear how many Republicans might rally behind overthrowing Johnson, seven months before the presidential election. Other conservatives, including Reps. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., and Troy Nehls, R-Texas, have said they don’t support a motion to vacate.

“We don’t need that. No way, no way!” said Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, the founding chairman of the hard-right House Freedom Caucus and Judiciary Committee chairman who is a Johnson mentor and ally.

Many MAGA Republicans are taking their cues from their party’s presumptive nominee, former President Donald Trump, who appeared with Johnson at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida on Friday and signaled his support for him.

“I stand with the speaker,” Trump told reporters when he was asked about Greene’s efforts, adding that he gets along great with both Greene and Johnson.

“It’s not an easy situation for any speaker. I think he’s doing a very good job. He’s doing about as good as you’re going to do.”

One moderate Republican facing a tough re-election bid this fall, Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., called Greene and Massie's efforts "idiotic."

It "does not serve the purpose of advancing the issues that these folks want," he said, "and it, in fact, undermines the majority and it undermines our ability to deal with these important issues."

Another vulnerable New York Republican, Rep. Marc Molinaro, called it "an utter waste of time and frankly a distraction from really important business.”

Asked whether Johnson was in trouble, Molinaro replied: “No.”

This week's conservative rebellion comes as Johnson attempts to move stalled foreign aid for U.S. allies including Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan through the House. Far-right members, including Greene, are demanding that Johnson and his leadership team focus their attention and resources on shoring up security of the southern border with Mexico.

Massie's support for Johnson's ouster is significant in another regard. Members of the Rules Committee, known on Capitol Hill as the "speaker's committee," are appointed by the speaker and typically carry out the speaker's wishes. Massie, however, was put on the influential panel by McCarthy last year, and Johnson has had to bypass the Rules Committee on a number of occasions to get critical legislation to the floor.

2nd Vote Funds, an asset manager and index provider, plans to liquidate the two ETFs it created in 2020 for conservative investors, according to the company.

The $30.3mn “2ndVote Society Defended” and the $19.3mn “2ndVote Life Neutral Plus” ETFs closed to investors on August 3, the company confirmed. The funds have stopped trading on Cboe.

The “Society Defended” ETF screens out companies “that oppose 2nd Amendment rights, border security, civil society or support for law enforcement”, according to the manager’s website. The “Life Neutral Plus” ETF excludes investments in companies that support abortion.

The ETFs failed to attract enough assets to maintain research and operations, said David Black, chief executive and founder of 2nd Vote.

This article was previously published by Ignites , a title owned by the FT Group.

“There is an overall failure in either our messaging or a commitment by conservatives and Christians to actually take meaningful steps to counter the successful radical ESG/woke/leftist agenda,” Black said. He added that there were no plans to create another ETF at this time.

Together, the two funds attracted $3.9mn in net inflows over the 12 months ended June 30, Morningstar Direct data shows.

Both ETFs began operations in November 2020.

The firm has gained attention in recent years for its anti-ESG commentary , which has been aired at a time of a growing backlash against ESG investing.

Vivek Ramaswamy, who is running for US president in 2024 , founded Strive Asset Management as an anti-ESG fund shop, with inflows of $811mn over the year ended June 30 across the firm’s eight ETFs, Morningstar Direct data shows.

Faith-based provider Inspire ETFs announced in August that the shop had renounced its ESG label.

The failure to gain flows using anti-ESG marketing or any other specific or factors-based products was common, said Loren Fox, director of research at Fuse Research.

“It’s not that there is no audience for them, but if what you’re doing is emphasising a particular take on economy, world or markets, it could take longer if your [shop] doesn’t have the performance record in the past,” he said.

Rising equity and bond markets drove assets in Morningstar’s US sustainable category to more than $313bn as of June, according to analysis from Morningstar. That figure includes open-end funds and ETFs aligned with ESG principles.

Investors pulled $635mn from US sustainable funds in the second quarter. Sustainable funds in the US have experienced net outflows for three quarters in a row, Morningstar reported.

However, Fox said: “Regardless of your politics, there is a body of research that shows that paying attention to environmental, social, governance risks can either benefit performance or doesn’t detract from performance in the long run.”

2nd Vote would maintain its index, Shareholders First, which only tracked companies that were rated neutral on political and social issues, Black said.

Black declined to comment on how the ETF liquidations affected the company’s priorities in the future.

Johnson's leadership is under threat in the House over foreign aid bills

U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., seen here at the U.S. Capitol in October 2023, said he called on House Speaker Mike Johnson to resign.

A second Republican member is supporting an effort to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson.

Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., says he is co-sponsoring a resolution by Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, as frustration grows among blocs of conservative members at Johnson's proposed foreign aid package .

"We're steering everything toward what [Senate Majority Leader] Chuck Schumer wants," Massie said of his complaints with Johnson. "I mean, if the country likes Chuck Schumer, then they should like what Speaker Johnson's accomplished in the House."

The House plans to hold separate votes on aid for Israel and Ukraine after delays

The Kentucky Republican pointed to three areas where he feels Johnson has let his conference down: the latest spending package , the House's renewal of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act that allows for warrantless surveillance of foreign nationals inside the U.S., and aid to Ukraine.

Johnson announced Monday plans to move forward on four separate bills to address foreign aid , including to Israel and Ukraine.

Schumer and the White House haven't ruled out backing Johnson's plan.

Massie said he asked Johnson to resign during a closed-door meeting with GOP House members Tuesday morning.

"He said he would not," Massie told reporters after the meeting.

I just told Mike Johnson in conference that I’m cosponsoring the Motion to Vacate that was introduced by @RepMTG . He should pre-announce his resignation (as Boehner did), so we can pick a new Speaker without ever being without a GOP Speaker. — Thomas Massie (@RepThomasMassie) April 16, 2024

Massie argued Johnson should pre-announce his resignation, like former GOP Speaker John Boehner, so that members could coalesce around a replacement and avoid the drawn-out process they faced last fall when they ultimately elected Johnson as speaker.

"If somebody calls in a motion to vacate on the floor, and it succeeds, which it will, now you have no speaker," Massie said. "And then you have a temporary speaker and it's a hot mess."

His comments come almost a month after Greene filed a motion to vacate resolution over disputes with the speaker on how he handled a $1.2 trillion appropriations package . That resolution is not privileged, meaning it's unclear when it might be brought to the floor for a vote.

Massie said if it is called for a vote, "there will be a lot of people who vote for it."

South Carolina Rep. Ralph Norman, a member of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, said he respects Massie but disagrees with his support of the motion to vacate.

"The last thing this country needs is to throw a speaker out, even though I disagree with what he's done," Norman said.

Consider This from NPR

Iran's attack on israel is a major escalation. what comes next for the region.

After the meeting, Johnson told reporters that "steady leadership" is needed and the motion-to-vacate threat weakens the GOP conference.

"It is, in my view, an absurd notion that someone would bring a vacate motion when we are simply here trying to do our jobs. It is not helpful to the cause," Johnson said. "We have to have a united front and we have to have our members work together."

Johnson has a razor-thin majority, which goes down to one seat on Friday when Wisconsin Rep. Mike Gallagher's retirement becomes effective. If Greene were to call for a vote, Johnson would likely need support from Democrats to keep the gavel.

Florida Democratic Rep. Jared Moskowitz has already said he would support Johnson in a motion to vacate vote.

"Massie wants the world to burn, I won't stand by and watch. I have a bucket of water," he posted on X .

Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar told reporters Tuesday that Democrats want to see aid move forward to Ukraine and Israel.

"That's what we're focused on right now. We can't control the theatrics of Marjorie Taylor Greene and the House Republican conference," he said. "We don't like the chaos and the dysfunction. We've been down this road before."

Taylor Swift’s ‘Poets’ Arrives With a Promotional Blitz (and a Second LP)

The pop superstar’s latest album was preceded by a satellite radio channel, a word game, a return to TikTok and an actual library. For her fans, more is always welcome.

• Share full article

By Ben Sisario

Taylor Swift was already the most ubiquitous pop star in the galaxy, her presence dominating the music charts, the concert calendar, the Super Bowl, the Grammys.

Then it came time for her to promote a new album.

In the days leading up to the release of “The Tortured Poets Department” on Friday, Swift became all but inescapable, online and seemingly everywhere else. Her lyrics were the basis for an Apple Music word game . A Spotify-sponsored, Swift-branded “ library installation ,” in muted pink and gray, popped up in a shopping complex in Los Angeles. In Chicago, a QR code painted on a brick wall directed fans to another Easter egg on YouTube. Videos on Swift’s social media accounts, showing antique typewriters and globes with pins, were dissected for clues about her music. SiriusXM added a Swift radio station; of course it’s called Channel 13 (Taylor’s Version).

About the only thing Swift didn’t do was an interview with a journalist.

At this stage in Swift’s career, an album release is more than just a moment to sell music; it’s all but a given that “The Tortured Poets Department” will open with gigantic sales numbers, many of them for “ghost white,” “phantom clear” and other collector-ready vinyl variants . More than that, the album’s arrival is a test of the celebrity-industrial complex overall, with tech platforms and media outlets racing to capture whatever piece of the fan frenzy they can get.

Threads, the newish social media platform from Meta, primed Swifties for their idol’s arrival there, and offered fans who shared Swift’s first Threads post a custom badge. Swift stunned the music industry last week by breaking ranks with her record label, Universal, and returning her music to TikTok, which Universal and other industry groups have said pays far too little in royalties. Overnight, TikTok unveiled “The Ultimate Taylor Swift In-App Experience,” offering fans digital goodies like a “Tortured Poets-inspired animation” on their feed.

Before the album’s release on Friday, Swift revealed that a music video — for “Fortnight,” the first single, featuring Post Malone — would arrive on Friday at 8 p.m. Eastern time. At 2 a.m., she had another surprise: 15 more songs. “I’d written so much tortured poetry in the past 2 years and wanted to share it all with you,” she wrote in a social media post , bringing “The Anthology” edition of the album to 31 tracks.

“The Tortured Poets Department,” which Swift, 34, announced in a Grammy acceptance speech in February — she had the Instagram post ready to go — lands as Swift’s profile continues to rise to ever-higher levels of cultural saturation.

Her Eras Tour , begun last year, has been a global phenomenon, crashing Ticketmaster and lifting local economies ; by some estimates, it might bring in as much as $2 billion in ticket sales — by far a new record — before it ends later this year. Swift’s romance with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has been breathlessly tracked from its first flirtations last summer to their smooch on the Super Bowl field in February. The mere thought that Swift might endorse a presidential candidate this year sent conspiracy-minded politicos reeling .

“The Tortured Poets Department” — don’t even ask about the missing apostrophe — arrived accompanied by a poem written by Stevie Nicks that begins, “He was in love with her/Or at least she thought so.” That establishes what many fans correctly anticipated as the album’s theme of heartbreak and relationship rot, Swift’s signature topic. “I love you/It’s ruining my life,” she sings on “Fortnight.”

Fans were especially primed for the fifth track, “So Long, London,” given that (1) Swift has said she often sequences her most vulnerable and emotionally intense songs fifth on an LP, and (2) the title suggested it may be about Joe Alwyn, the English actor who was Swift’s boyfriend for about six years, reportedly until early 2023 . Indeed, “So Long” is an epic breakup tune, with lines like “You left me at the house by the heath” and “I’m pissed off you let me give you all that youth for free.” Tracks from the album leaked on Wednesday, and fans have also interpreted some songs as being about Matty Healy , the frontman of the band the 1975, whom Swift was briefly linked to last year.

The album’s title song starts with a classic Swift detail of a memento from a lost love: “You left your typewriter at my apartment/Straight from the tortured poets department.” It also name-drops Dylan Thomas, Patti Smith and, somewhat surprisingly given that company, Charlie Puth, the singer-songwriter who crooned the hook on Wiz Khalifa’s “See You Again,” a No. 1 hit in 2015. (Swift has praised Wiz Khalifa and that song in the past.)

Other big moments include “Florida!!!,” featuring Florence Welch of Florence + the Machine, in which Swift declares — after seven big percussive bangs — that the state “is one hell of a drug.” Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner, the producers and songwriters who have been Swift’s primary collaborators in recent years, both worked on “Tortured Poets,” bringing their signature mix of moody, pulsating electronic tracks and delicate acoustic moments, like a bare piano on “Loml” (as in “love of my life”).

As the ninth LP Swift has released in five years, “Tortured Poets” is the latest entry in a remarkable creative streak. That includes five new studio albums and four rerecordings of her old music — each of which sailed to No. 1. When Swift played SoFi Stadium near Los Angeles in August, she spoke from the stage about her recording spurt, saying that the forced break from touring during the Covid-19 pandemic had spurred her to connect with fans by releasing more music.

“And so I decided, in order to keep that connection going,” she said , “if I couldn’t play live shows with you, I was going to make and release as many albums as humanly possible.”

That was two albums ago.

Inside the World of Taylor Swift

A Triumph at the Grammys: Taylor Swift made history  by winning her fourth album of the year at the 2024 edition of the awards, an event that saw women take many of the top awards .

‘The T ortured Poets Department’: Poets reacted to Swift’s new album name , weighing in on the pertinent question: What do the tortured poets think ?  

In the Public Eye: The budding romance between Swift and the football player Travis Kelce created a monocultural vortex that reached its apex  at the Super Bowl in Las Vegas. Ahead of kickoff, we revisited some key moments in their relationship .

Politics (Taylor’s Version): After months of anticipation, Swift made her first foray into the 2024 election for Super Tuesday with a bipartisan message on Instagram . The singer, who some believe has enough influence  to affect the result of the election , has yet to endorse a presidential candidate.

Conspiracy Theories: In recent months, conspiracy theories about Swift and her relationship with Kelce have proliferated , largely driven by supporters of former President Donald Trump . The pop star's fans are shaking them off .
