Daily News | Pa.’s Scott Perry emerges as key voice against Kevin McCarthy’s speaker bid
WASHINGTON — U.S. Rep. Scott Perry has emerged as one of the leading Republicans blocking Rep. Kevin McCarthy from his path to becoming House Speaker, throwing deep uncertainty over the GOP’s first day back in charge of the House, and its prospects for governing going forward.and has pushed for concessions that he says McCarthy is unwilling to make.
“This meeting wasn’t about trying to inform people about what it takes to get to 218 and ask what they want,” Perry told reporters after the closed-door meeting. ”This was about a beat down and a simulated unity in the room which really doesn’t exist.” “We literally have people in there telling us to take orders,” Perry said. “I don’t take orders from anyone in this town. My orders come from my district and my constituents.”
