House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) told Fox News on Thursday he does not want an endorsement from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce (USCC) after reports that the world’s largest business organization is planning to back nearly two dozen freshman Democrats.
While the USCC has yet to release its full list of official endorsements for this election cycle, Neil Bradley, the Chamber’s executive vice president, confirmed in a tweet that the organization was backing 23 first-term Democrats. He explained the USCC selects candidates in a non-partisan fashion, based on scorecards.
