Trump's meddling in GOP primaries may have cost McCarthy his shot at being Speaker: Maggie Haberman

Raw Story  

On Tuesday, New York Timesreporter Maggie Haberman noted that former President Donald Trump may be a key factor in why House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy is facing the prospect of failing, for the second time in his career, of securing the votes to be Speaker of the House. All but two of them — Rep. David Valadao and Rep. Dan Newhouse — subsequently either resigned or were defeated in primaries with Trump's encouragement. Two of those who lost — Rep. Peter Meijer and Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler — were ultimately succeeded by Democrats after Trump's chosen candidate lost the 2022 elections. RELATED: Passage from John Boehner's memoir comes back to haunt Kevin McCarthy This is not the first time McCarthy has fumbled his quest for Speaker; in 2015, he was passed over in favor of Rep. Paul Ryan after the resignation of Speaker John Boehner.
