Since President Biden's lackluster debate performance, the Democratic Party has faced intense media scrutiny, much to the relief of House Republicans who have often been the target of reporter inquiries. "We have really passed the baton of overthrowing political norms to the Democrats who are now running toward the greatest overthrow I've ever seen," one House GOP aide remarked to Fox News Digital.

Despite hopes from party leaders for Democratic officials to maintain a low profile, 18 House Democrats have publically called for Biden to withdraw from the presidential race less than six months before the election. Amid the ongoing Democratic turmoil, Republican lawmakers have largely escaped media attention, with one GOP aide advising members to "keep our heads down."

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has presided over a relatively quiet week for his conference as media focus shifts towards House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries' (D-N.Y.) caucus. The 118th Congress has been marred by infighting within the House GOP, leading to the historic ouster of the party's House speaker and frequent disruptions during House floor proceedings.

However, this past week, Republican lawmakers have enjoyed a respite from scrutiny, with reporters primarily pursuing Democrats for comment. "I've gotta say, hasn't been this much fun to be a House Republican since…well..yesterday. Monday was pretty cool too," commented Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.).

Rep. Stephanie Bice (R-Okla.) expressed a similar sentiment, highlighting the absence of reporters seeking interviews following a party meeting. Rep. French Hill (R-Ark.) noted the unusual circumstance of leaving a meeting without facing any press inquiries.

Rep. Jim Himes (D-Conn.) jokingly remarked about the press's newfound interest in Republican presidential candidates, shortly before joining the growing number of Democrats calling for Biden's withdrawal.

Despite the Democratic chaos, some House Republicans advocate for the party to focus on their own messaging and avoid involvement in the left's internal struggles. "Republicans are focused on the Republican platform and our own campaigns…and we’re letting the Democrats sort through their best strategy for Joe Biden," a House GOP lawmaker stated.

House Speaker Johnson emphasized the need for Republicans to continue criticizing Biden's policies and let the Democrats resolve their political strife on their own. "We need to be talking about the answers we have to all the great challenges that have been created by the policies of the Biden administration," he said.

A senior House GOP aide attributed the recent media avoidance of Republicans to the Democrats' self-inflicted implosion. However, some GOP members have expressed a desire for media attention, with one aide admitting, ". I actually like you guys. That’s why I’m a sucker, I enjoy talking to you all."
