The conservative group says it’s starting a fund to defend, what it calls, ‘The Patriot 20’
McCarthy won the speakership after a historic and contentious 15 rounds of voting. He was forced to make a laundry list of concessions to win over his detractors.
The Club’s memo appears intended to spook any McCarthy allies plotting against those who voted against his speaker bid. McIntosh noted that his group helped elect 17 of the 20 members and praised them for their work “to advance conservative priorities and establish a more transparent and accountable legislative process in the House during the Speaker negotiations in January.”
So far, hardly any members of the group have attracted primary challengers who have managed to raise any serious money. But primary challenges have been top of mind for the Club, which agreed to support McCarthy’s speakership in exchange for. That group, the Congressional Leadership Fund, vowed to refrain from spending in open-seat primaries in deep red districts — something it did only rarely anyway. And it already does not spend against Republican incumbents.
In the memo, the Club also noted that it would also help the three members of the 20 who could be most at risk from Democrats in a general election: Boebert, Luna and Rep.. Boebert’s 2022 challenger, Adam Frisch, is running again after nearly besting her last fall. He announced raising a whopping $2.6 million in the second quarter of this year.
