During a telephone interview with Politico, LaHood said that gaining control of the House in 2022 was more important than punishing Republican lawmakers by depriving their campaigns of money.
Ten House Republicans voted to impeach Trump for the second time for their role in inciting the US Capitol insurrection on January 6, marking the most bipartisan impeachment vote in U.S. history.
His votes for Trump’s impeachment caused division within the Republican Party at both the state and national level, with some state Republican committees passing resolutions to censor Rep. Liz Cheney

Kinzinger, LaHood’s Illinoian companion, acknowledged that his vote may have ended his political career, but has so far upheld his decision, launching a PAC to challenge the Republican Party’s adoption of “Trumpism”.
When asked whether the 10 GOP lawmakers who voted for impeachment would still receive funding for their campaigns, LaHood replied, “Certainly.”
“If we are going to become the majority party – which I think we are – you have to accept that we are a big tent,” said LaHood. “I tried to follow this philosophy and this attitude that this is how we will become the party of the majority”.
“I see our freshman class that just arrived, and that diversity is what we have to build,” added LaHood.
Republicans in several states have won seats in Congress, weakening Democrats’ control over the U.S. House. Democrats also did not resume the Senate by widening margins in 2020, although they won a majority after the former Georgia Sens. David Perdue

LaHood continued: “The fact that we have not lost a titleholder [in 2020] it’s amazing, and then taking all the seats we’ve won, so our job at NRCC is to protect our occupants, and the money we help raise will go to that. “
In a statement to The Hill, NRCC spokesman Michael McAdams said: “The NRCC’s stance has not changed. We support our members in the general election and are not involved in the primaries. We look forward to enjoying the successes of the last cycle and take back the majority. ”
