NEW: Asked about his praise of QAnon-embracing candidate who won GOP runoff in Georgia, Pres. Trump says Marjorie Taylor Greene 'did very well in the election' and 'had a tremendous victory,' but does not comment on the fringe conspiracy theory.

However, unlike Scalise, McCarthy chose to remain neutral ahead of the runoff election, his campaign spokesman confirmed to ABC News Sunday. Rep. Cheri Bustos, chairwoman of the House Democrats' campaign arm, said in a statement,"Marjorie Taylor Greene is a next-generation Steve King who is now the Republican nominee for Congress because Minority Leader McCarthy refused to meaningfully oppose her racist candidacy ... Her views have no place on the ballot or in Congress. Georgia Republicans, and Republican candidates running across the country, will have to answer for her hateful views in their own campaigns.
In the videos, Greene falsely accused Democratic megadonor George Soros -- who survived the Holocaust as a child in Hungary -- of collaborating with Nazis. "Dr. Cowan's opponent, Marjorie Taylor Greene, would take our party in the wrong direction. Greene came to national attention for all the wrong reasons: repeatedly using offensive language in long online video diatribes, promoting bizarre political conspiracy theories, and refusing to admit a mistake after posing for photos smiling side by side with a long-time white supremacist leader," RJC Executive Director Matt Brooks said in a statement.

Kamala Harris kicks off her VP candidacy as GOP, Trump seem caught off guardIf Sen. Kamala Harris’ first speech as Joe Biden’s running mate is any indication, she’s ready for what is expected to be a pitched battle for the White House. She slammed President Donald Trump’s coronavirus response, and said he took the growing economy he inherited from President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden and “ran it straight into the ground.” But President Donald Trump and the Republican Party don’t seem to be on the same page about their attack strategy.
