The conservative Club for Growth is emerging as one of the most consequential groups within Republican politics — and a textbook example of the GOP's identity crisis in the post-Trump era.
Why it matters: The anti-tax group was closely aligned with former President Trump during his time in office despite his free-spending record.

White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain is planning to depart after the State of the Union address in February once his successor is firmly in place, according to an administration official.
Why it matters: Klain has been one of the most consequential chiefs of staff in the modern presidency and his departure will deprive President Biden of a trusted adviser who knows both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue.
Both sides in the abortion fight are trying to claim symbolic high ground on Sunday's 50th anniversary of Roe v. Wade while looking ahead to a new phase that will be largely fought in state capitals and the courts.
What’s happening: Anti-abortion groups are celebrating the culmination of their decades-long effort to overturn the federal right to the procedure while abortion rights advocates are pressing to maintain access in states where it remains legal.
