At long last Kevin McCarthy is House speaker, but it came at an incredible political cost.
U.S. Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy bangs the gavel Saturday. At long last, McCarthy is House speaker, but it came at an incredible political cost.SAN ANTONIO — After being held hostage by members of his own party for four days, Kevin McCarthy received what he has been craving for years — the House speakership.
Republicans loved to criticize Pelosi, but she governed capably, maintained Democratic unity, worked with Republicans and passed significant legislation. McCarthy made concession after concession, and in so doing weakened the power of the position. The most crucial compromise will allow one representative to force a “motion to vacate the chair” and overthrow the speaker. That means the new speaker may lead with an eye toward indulging the whims of the Freedom Caucus.
