EXCLUSIVE: GOP Rep. RalphNorman says realDonaldTrump's McCarthy endorsement 'does not' change his vote
EXCLUSIVE — Rep. Ralph Norman , a member of the conservative Freedom Caucus, told the Washington Examiner Wednesday morning that former President Donald Trump's endorsement of Rep. Kevin McCarthy for House speaker"does not" change his defiant stance against the California Republican for the top role.
