Political animal GOPLeader Kevin McCarthy is unworthy of House speakership, writes QuinHillyer.
McCarthy’s absurd claims to host Maria Bartiromo give yet more evidence that he’s the wrong man to be Speaker of the House next year.McCarthy tried to make the farcical assertion that the 2022 elections were a big success for the Republican Party, or at least the Republicans in the House. He said the House GOP had achieved all three of its goals: “to stop the Biden agenda, to win the majority, and to fire Nancy Pelosi.
From its base of a 213-222 minority, House Republicans gained between six and nine seats, for a maximum of a 222-213 majority. That may sound like at least a modest success, but it’s really a hugely missed opportunity. Yet with all that going for them, Republicans did not even approach sniffing distance of the 241 seats they controlled just six years ago. Assuming Republicans end up with 222 seats, it still would mean they won only nine of the 36 most competitive races. And it’s not as if they barely got edged out in numerous races: They came within two points of winning only six other seats and within four points of winning just seven more than that.
