NEW: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene signaled today that she will vote to elect GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy as House speaker, criticizing efforts by other right-wing Republicans to challenge his bid as 'risky' and a 'bad strategy.'
Greene's defense of McCarthy at a time when he's so vulnerable will be richly rewarded if he becomes speaker — likely with a plum position on the powerful House Oversight Committee.
"We've already been through two years where we saw Republicans — Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger — cross over and join the Democrats and produce a Jan. 6 committee," Greene said. "The danger is this, do we want to watch a challenge for Speaker of the House simply because the 'Never Kevin' movement — just like we've seen a 'Never Trump" movement — do we want to see that challenge open the door to Nancy Pelosi handing the gavel to Liz Cheney?"The Constitution does not technically require the speaker to be a member of the House, although every speaker in history has been.
