And the noise they are making does not seem to be well received by the majority of Americans who will vote in the next general election.
How did you come to that conclusion?
Elections where Republicans are losing ballot questions in which abortion rights are the issue. US Senate elections where gerrymandering has no effect (statewide races, not partisan rigged local districts). Where the people are free to vote without Republican voter suppression, Republicans lose more elections than they otherwise would. That's why they are so keen to suppress the vote.
This is a prime example of a non-sequitur. We were discussing the accomplishments of the Republican majority in the House so far this year. Voter suppression (or lack thereof) hasn't been brought up at all, but is a good subject for a separate discussion.
However, the actions of the new Speaker and the GOP majority have actually been received quite well by the Republican voters who put them in power. Adding to the list of positives I posted earlier is also:
(1) the removal of Ilhan Omar from the Foreign Affairs Committee, and McCarthy's refusal to re-appoint Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell to the Intelligence Committee.
(2) the reintroduction of the Protection of Women's and Girls Sports Act of 2023, which would keep transgender men out of women's competitions.

This bill was originally introduced in 2021, but was killed by the Democrat majority in the House. It now stands a good chance of passing, and it will be interesting to see what happens when it gets to the Senate floor. Many liberal-leaning women's rights groups solidly support this legislation.
The bottom line is that Republican voters think McCarthy has been doing a pretty good job of delivering on his promises and representing conservative policies in spite of united opposition from the Democrats and their allies in the media.
