House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) further solidified his status as the anointed one in the speaker succession by signing on for months of joint fundraising with current Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI), according to a Monday Washington Post report.
The unusual partnership to secure funds for House races signals the coming campaign to rally Republicans’ support for McCarthy to take over when Ryan resigns in January.
Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA), another contender for the speakership, has reportedly been raising money of his own, though he has said he would back McCarthy.
Diddley and Squat. The Griftit Bros.
Are they nuzzling there? That’s adorable.
Pfft. Nothing more than job interviews for Ryan. To see which billion dollar corporation gets what’s left of his soul.
And Kevin McCarthy for Speaker, really? The guy who said he thinks there are two people Putin pays with one being Trump? He lacks the discipline and respect from the far right fringe of that party to be effective. This is great news - for Democrats.
OT, but droll. Survey says:
Which one is the dog, and which one is the pony?
