Republicans appear to be close to winning control of the House, as results from Tuesday’s midterm elections continued to get tabulated. But their majority is expected to be narrow, and that’s already creating turbulence for the House GOP leadership.
“‘All across the country, Republican voters continue to tell me and other members of Congress and candidates that they don’t support Kevin McCarthy, because he’s not a true conservative, and they want someone who will fight.’”
Good made his remarks Thursday night during a Fox News interview, arguing that McCarthy hasn’t done enough to oppose Democrats such as President Joe Biden, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. “He’s essentially had a two-year audition, where he had the exclusive opportunity to earn the vote of the conference, to demonstrate that he was willing to fight against the Biden-Pelosi-Schumer agenda. And he failed to do that.”
The House Freedom Caucus, known for helping to bring about former House Speaker John Boehner’s departure from his post in 2015, is made up of several dozen of the chamber’s most conservative Republicans.
