Politico: “The former speaker’s multimillion dollar crusade to primary the eight Republicans who voted to strip him of his gavel ended this week with little to show for it. Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida, the main architect of McCarthy’s defenestration and his chief nemesis, won his primary Tuesday by about 45 points.”
“It wasn’t the only high-profile failure. McCarthy allies also dropped millions against Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.), only to see her prevail by 27 points. Another three handily won their primaries, two of whom were uncontested, and two others retired. McCarthy orbit’s lone election victory was against Rep. Bob Good (R-Va.), a result that had a lot to do with his decision to cross former President Donald Trump. And that race was so close it ended in a recount.”
