众议院共和党内部的分歧在中期选举竞选期间爆发,共和党人正为保住国会控制权而苦战,以延续唐纳德·特朗普总统任期的后半段。

这场内讧于周三波及佛罗里达州,两名众议院共和党议员正在支持现任佛罗里达州共和党众议员科里·米尔斯的初选对手,米尔斯正面临多项财务调查以及家庭暴力指控等多项指控。米尔斯否认存在任何不当行为。

佛罗里达州共和党众议员迈克·哈里佐普洛斯和安娜·保利娜·卢娜宣布,他们将支持前体育记者瑞安·伊莱贾竞选米尔斯的席位,并表示“敦促我们的共和党同僚加入我们,支持他”。

“瑞安·伊莱贾是一位优秀的候选人,将确保我们在佛罗里达第七选区取得胜利,”哈里佐普洛斯告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。

值得注意的是,唐纳德·特朗普总统已经背书哈里佐普洛斯、卢娜和米尔斯连任。

此前一名共和党消息人士告诉福克斯新闻数字频道,一些佛罗里达共和党人担心,如果米尔斯在8月18日周二的初选中胜出,他们将难以保住米尔斯的席位。

无党派的库克政治报告今年早些时候将共和党席位的评级从“稳固共和党”下调至“倾向共和党”。鉴于该选区库克评级为共和党+5,如果共和党在11月的选举周期中面临严峻挑战,民主党人将有机会拿下该席位。

据消息人士透露,米尔斯正在接受众议院道德委员会和司法部(DOJ)的调查,但他始终坚称自己没有做错任何事。

这位共和党退伍军人将司法部调查的报道斥为对手的“绝望谎言”,并于上月末在X平台上表示:“我们没有收到任何司法部调查的通知,司法部或联邦调查局也没有证实过此类调查,如果真有调查,我们会全力配合。”

福克斯新闻数字频道已联系米尔斯,请其就哈里佐普洛斯和卢娜的背书作出回应。

米尔斯是几名被指控行为不端的众议院共和党议员之一,他们的问题给共和党竞选之路带来了麻烦。

北卡罗来纳州共和党众议员查克·爱德华兹在一份爆炸性报道披露两名年轻女性工作人员指控他性骚扰后,于隔夜宣布放弃连任竞选。爱德华兹否认了这些指控,但承认有时会让工作人员感到不适。

俄亥俄州共和党众议员马克斯·米勒被其前妻和前岳父、俄亥俄州共和党参议员伯尼·莫雷诺指控犯有家庭暴力罪,国会共和党议员也向他施压,要求他退出竞选。一名众议院共和党消息人士在接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时称这一情况为“他妈的一场灾难”。

米勒否认存在任何不当行为,并要求众议院道德委员会启动调查以洗刷自己的罪名。这位前特朗普助手拒绝了退出竞选的呼吁,坚称自己将在11月赢得选举,并表示前妻的公开指控是为了破坏他的政治生涯。

上述三个众议院席位均被列入民主党国会竞选委员会(DCCC)的目标名单,这意味着民主党人正在向这些选区投入资金和资源。

一名要求匿名以便自由发言的众议院共和党议员告诉福克斯新闻数字频道,这三人都应该退出竞选,并称“我们必须以身作则”。

米尔斯的初选辩论将于周三晚间举行。

House GOP divisions are erupting on the midterm campaign trail as Republicans fight an uphill battle to keep control of Congress for the latter half of President Donald Trump’s term.

The infighting touched down in Florida on Wednesday, where two House Republicans are endorsing a primary opponent to incumbent Rep. Cory Mills, R-Fla., who is facing multiple investigations into his finances and allegations of domestic abuse, among other claims. Mills has denied any wrongdoing.

Reps. Mike Haridopolos, R-Fla., and Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., announced they’re backing former sports reporter Ryan Elijah for Mills’ seat and said they “urge our fellow Republicans to join us in supporting him.”

“Ryan Elijah is an excellent candidate and will ensure victory for us in Florida 7,” Haridopolos told Fox News Digital.

Notably, President Donald Trump has endorsed Haridopolos, Luna and Mills for re-election.

It comes after another GOP source told Fox News Digital that some Florida Republicans were worried about the chances of keeping Mills’ seat if he won the primary on Tuesday, Aug. 18.

The nonpartisan Cook Political Report downgraded its projection for Republicans from “Solid R” to “Likely R” earlier this year. And with a Cook rating of R+5, Democrats could be within striking distance if Republicans see a tough enough cycle in November.

Mills is under investigation by the House Ethics Committee and the Department of Justice (DOJ), according to a source, though he has consistently insisted that he has not done anything wrong.

The Republican military veteran dismissed reports of a DOJ investigation as a “desperate lie” by his opponents and said on X late last month, “We are not aware of any DOJ investigation, nor has there been any confirmation of such investigation by DOJ or FBI, and would fully cooperate if there was one.”

Fox News Digital reached out to Mills for a response to Haridopolos and Luna’s endorsement.

Mills is one of several House Republicans whose allegations of misconduct are posing a headache for the GOP on the campaign trail.

Rep. Chuck Edwards, R-N.C., announced overnight that he would drop his re-election bid after an explosive report detailed sexual harassment accusations by two young female staffers. Edwards has denied those accusations but has admitted to at times making staff feel uncomfortable.

And Rep. Max Miller, R-Ohio, has been accused of domestic abuse by his ex-wife and former father-in-law, Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, and is facing pressure from congressional Republicans to drop out of his race as well. One House GOP source called the situation a “f—ing trainwreck” in comments to Fox News Digital.

Miller has denied any wrongdoing and asked the House Ethics Committee to initiate an investigation in order to clear his name. The former Trump aide has resisted calls to exit the race, insisting he will win in November and that the public accusations from his ex-wife are a bid to derail his political career.

All three House seats are on the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) target list, meaning Democrats are pouring money and resources into those races.

One House Republican, who was granted anonymity to speak freely, told Fox News Digital that all three should drop out of their races, stating, “We must lead by example.”

Mills’ primary debate is Wednesday night.
