Republican Infighting Over McCarthy's Speaker Bid Gets UGLIER After Trump Steps In
Channel: The Humanist Report
Date: 2023-01-04

After holding six different votes, Kevin McCarthy still doesn't have the support needed to become House Speaker. Even after Trump publicly endorsed McCarthy, chud loyalists like Matt Gaetz and Lauren Boebert have remained defiant, while Marjorie Taylor Greene is ramping up her attacks on her colleagues that refuse to get behind McCarthy.
