“I think [McCarthy] will be completely hostage to kind of the extreme wings of the Republican Party,” Rep Adam Kinzinger said Sunday. “And I, frankly, don’t think he’s going to last very long.'
The prospects for Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s tenure if he becomes Speaker of the House are grim, two outspoken lawmakers from both sides of the aisle said Sunday.
Last week, House Republicans chose McCarthy, a California Republican, to lead them in the next Congress, after the GOP clinched control following closer-than-expected midterm elections. But 31 Republicans opposed his nomination, leading to speculation that he may not have the votes to become House speaker.
“She will be newly empowered,” Kinzinger told CNN. “And the fact that she’s supporting Kevin McCarthy means that he’s made a lot of promises to her. Just, trust me, that’s how this business works.”
