Here's a breakdown of the key players and issues at the center of the GOP's most recent infighting.
Boebert and Gaetz are among the defectors who are launching the mini-revolt against a McCarthy speakership in favor of a leader who is further to the right, like the chair of the Freedom Caucus, Representative Andy Biggs, who is challenging McCarthy in the speaker race.
Her opposition to McCarthy, and ridicule of Greene for supporting him, has earned her pushback from Greene, who previously supported and donated to Boebert's campaigns. "It is obvious that MTG is being 100% transactional with her support. She has likely been assured of something in return for her support of Rep. McCarthy's speakership," GOP strategist Alex Patton previously toldin an email."If Rep. McCarthy becomes speaker and MTG gets what she wants, she will immediately return to the warm embrace of the crazy caucus."
While Dhillon's California RNC hasn't won a statewide race for office since 2006, she's been able to drum up some support, largely due to conservatives who just want to see a new face chair the national GOP.
