A Trump-aligned California Republican is launching a bid to challenge former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy , praising the eight House Republicans who voted to remove him from the top leadership position.
Businessman David Giglio announced his House campaign on Monday, vowing to work alongside former President Donald Trump to “WAGE WAR” against the “corrupt uniparty,” a phrase often used by some conservatives to refer to Washington, D.C., as a political “swamp” that must be drained.“Kevin McCarthy has failed the American people,” Giglio said in a statement. “I am excited to announce my campaign to defeat Kevin McCarthy in California’s 20th Congressional District.
In his announcement, Giglio also praised the eight Republicans who joined all Democrats in voting to oust McCarthy as speaker earlier this month. Giglio called the GOP lawmakers “courageous,” accusing McCarthy of working with Democrats and President Joe Biden when he passed a bipartisan continuing resolution in September to keep the government funded and avoid a shutdown.
That spending deal is what prompted Rep. Matt Gaetz to introduce the motion to vacate, accusing McCarthy of making a secret “back deal” with Democrats without the knowledge of other Republican leaders. McCarthy and his allies repeatedly denied doing so.
McCarthy announced earlier this month he planned to run for reelection despite being ousted from his top leadership position, offering a glimpse of hope to many in the party as the California Republican is one of the GOP’s top fundraisers. Because of that and McCarthy’s widespread name recognition, Giglio is likely to face an uphill battle as he seeks to claim the seat next year.
