California Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff spoke with Scripps News about the ouster of Rep. Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House.
On Tuesday, Scripps News Spoke with California Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff following the ouster of Republican Rep. Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House.
"I think the fundamental problem is [McCarthy] never really enjoyed the trust of his own members," Schiff told Scripps News."He certainly didn't enjoy the trust of Democrats. But I think all the members kind of felt that he didn't really stand for anything, that there was no real substance there, no policy agenda. It was just about Kevin McCarthy trying to remain speaker another day, or another week. And that is a hard philosophy of governance.
"I will not run for Speaker again," McCarthy said in a conference after his ouster on Tuesday."I'll have the conference pick somebody else."
