What The 20 Republicans Who Voted Against Kevin McCarthy Have In Common
FiveThirtyEightMAR 28 2023
While the GOP establishment wants members to just get in line for Kevin McCarthy, principled conservatives must take the lead and not allow McCarthy to become Speaker of the House. He has no conviction and will do whatever his wealthy donors ask of him. A Republican majority isn’t a victory if no meaningful change comes along with it, and McCarthy is the status quo politician.
Enough is enough. All Republicans must now unite behind Kevin McCarthy and allow the newly-elected GOP majority to start governing instead of grandstanding. Some congressional Republicans are playing with fire and should learn to compromise for the better of the nation.
