“The last last bit of lifeline that the California GOP has goes away” if Kevin McCarthy isn’t speaker, a Republican consultant said Wednesday, Jan. 4.
More than pride was at stake for California“It will have a devastating impact on the California Republican Party and its infrastructure” if Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Bakersfield, isn’t speaker, Mike Madrid, a California Republican political consultant, said Wednesday, Jan. 4.
“His competence, his leadership, his ability to kind of put the right people in place as well as bring the funding goes away if he’s no longer the leader of the Republican conference, which is what would happen if he loses the speakership.
