Freedom Caucus yet to Back RINO McCarthy as Next House Republican Speaker

The House Freedom Caucus, one of the chamber’s most conservative factions, has yet to support California GOP Rep. Kevin McCarthy as the chamber’s next speaker if their Republican Party wins back the majority in November.

McCarthy is now the House majority leader, the chamber’s top Republican, and appears to have enough support within the entire House GOP conference to win the speakership.

However, McCarthy’s bid in 2015 was at least in part derailed the by the caucus.

When caucus Chairman Rep. Scott Perry was asked about whether the group plans on supporting McCarthy, he replied “Talk to me on Nov. 9” – one day after the midterm elections, Axios reported Wednesday.
