Vega has scheduled a fundraiser in McLean on Oct. 18 with McCarthy as her special guest. 'He has earned my support in this effort, and I am honored to be in the fight with him.'
Vega repeatedly promised that if she is elected this fall and Republicans win a House majority, she would vote against making House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy the new speaker.
Now that she’s running in the general election and seeking broader support, the Democratic Party of Virginia has accused Vega of making a U-turn on McCarthy. So, we pulled out our Flip-O-Meter, which measures whether politicians have changed on issues, and gave it a look.McCarthy, R-Calif., is distrusted by many of Trump’s most ardent supporters because of statements he made to Republican colleagues days after the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.
obtained by The New York Times, McCarthy told Republican colleagues that Trump bore"some responsibility" for the riot, and he would urge the president to resign. McCarthy walked back his statements after they were disclosed."I would not vote for Kevin McCarthy and it is because I am frustrated with Republicans," she said in audio posted to Twitter by the Virginia Democratic party.
