McCarthy’s Time as Speaker May Be Coming to an End: Report
Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy is facing stiff opposition to the latest spending bill and might have to risk his speakership by compromising with Democrats to get it passed, according to reports.
The California Republican had a rocky road to confirmation as speaker when he suffered 14 failed votes before finally winning a majority of his caucus to take the speaker’s gavel in January.
McCarthy also has faced many calls to step down during his short time heading the lower chamber of Congress.
But the fight over the coming vote on the budget bill is shaping up as a particularly perilous time for the speaker, according to CNN.
