With just days to go before House members are slated to vote for their next speaker, a growing number of Republican lawmakers have thrown their support behind House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy amid a challenge from members of his own party.
Dozens of GOP House members associated with the Republican Main Street Caucus released a letter saying they will only vote for McCarthy for speaker, according to Chairman Dusty Johnson (R-S.C.) and vice chair Stephanie Bice (R-Okla.). About 70 Republicans are members of the Main Street Caucus.
