Punchbowl News: “Turmoil has broken out among Senate and House Republicans, as key lawmakers in both chambers have begun to push against their leadership.”
“A number of prominent Senate Republicans are calling for a delay in the leadership elections which are slated to be held next week…”
“In the House, a number of restive conservatives have said that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy is not suited to be speaker of the House if the GOP takes the majority. Most estimates indicate that Republicans can only win 220 seats, leaving McCarthy a two-seat cushion to be elected to the chamber’s top job. A number of Republicans in the House are also calling to delay the leadership election — scheduled for Tuesday — but the leadership has shown little appetite to push it off.”
