Two top Republican lawmakers expressed confidence in House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy’s (R-Calif.) bid to become House speaker, now that the party has captured a majority in the lower chamber after four years in the minority.
Reps. Michael McCaul (R-Texas) and Michael Turner (R-Ohio), likely the next chairmen of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the House Intelligence Committee, respectively, said they believe that the current House minority leader would win the top spot in January when the 118th Congress convenes.
