Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy have been drawn into battles for control over their respective conferences, inflaming a GOP civil war that's getting uglier by the hour.
Former President Trump has also publicly pushed Scott to replace McConnell, seeking to pin the blame squarely on McConnell for Republicans' failure to regain the majority in the Senate.McCarthy easily prevailed over former Freedom Caucus Chair Andy Biggs for the GOP’s nomination for House speaker, winning by a lopsided 188-31 margin.
McCarthy will spend the coming weeks courting the far-right flank of the conference, a process that could involve making some serious concessions in order to secure their votes in the new year. But it’s unclear how many other Freedom Caucus members will take that position come January — especially if they can strike a deal with McCarthy.
