Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel proclaimed Sunday that Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) is “on track” to become the next speaker of the House.
The RNC chairwoman was interviewed on Sunday morning by host John Catsimatidis on WABC, touching on the state of the party following disappointing midterm election results. She urged Republicans to coalesce around McCarthy ahead of Tuesday’s vote.“I wish we had it decided now. ... Any delay in getting our agenda done is a delay the voters don’t want,” McDaniel said. “Kevin McCarthy has done a lot to elect these candidates, fund their candidacies. I think he’s on track to be the next speaker.
McDaniel has also faced some blowback over the election results, though she looks poised to win reelection to helm the RNC. McDaniel did not think the controversies swirling around Rep.-elect George Santos , who has fabricated large portions of his resume and personal backstory, will have an impact on McCarthy’s chances.
