Kevin McCarthy Facing GOP Lawmaker Backlash After NYT Leak: ‘Can’t Imagine’ He’ll Make It Through His Term (msn.com) "House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) is facing backlash from GOP lawmakers after the New York Times published a report suggesting the Republican was blaming his own leadership for the lack of a budget.
"According to the Times report this week, McCarthy reportedly said he doubted House Budget Chair Jodey Arrington (R-TX) could deliver a budget proposal, and he called Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) an “ineffective” leader. McCarthy denied the accusation that his leadership team is not unified though.
"An Axios report later revealed some blowback to McCarthy’s alleged comments and suggested the speaker may be on “rocky ground” in his leadership position.
“ 'The members I’ve spoken with are just stunned by his rebuking of his budget chair, and certainly of our leadership,” one unidentified House Republican told the outlet. “I can’t imagine [he will last an entire term].”
