re: Louisiana congressional map creating new majority-Black district ruled unconstitutional

Graves endorsed and campaigned for one of Landry’s opponents in the Governor’s race, which Landry won in the primary.

Graves also was involved in backstabbing a number of GOP Speaker hopefuls because he was loyal to Kevin McCarthy rather than supporting the most powerful member from his state at the time, Steve Scalise. I believe he leaked a bunch of dirt intended to kill Scalise’s chances which is why he withdrew from the Speaker race.
