When the new 118th Congress is seated Jan 3, Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., is considered the leading candidate to be elected the next speaker, succeeding Democratic Rep. Nancy Pelosi after the GOP won the House in the midterms.
Despite patches of opposition within his party, no other contender appears to have the same broad level of backing that McCarthy does. When the vote for speaker is taken up on the House floor, it's McCarthy's race to lose.

Yes accountability is coming….but not for who you think.
Democrats and the media then the fbi will be defunded
Be a real shame if if you went for a 3-hour tour and the Kraken pulled her down into the abyss! ugh ugh ugh ugh. I’m strong to the Finish because I like democracy, 🎶
McCarthy may be looking at jail time.
At least twenty in his caucus requested PARDONS for their part in Trump’s failed COUP. When they are INDICTED and removed, poor Kevin will no longer have a majority.
Screw McCarthy, the only accountability he’ll offer is punishment for those who don’t lock step with the uniparty
Hm
Yeah. Sure it is. Til the $$ is right! Right McCarthy??
Maybe you’re right
How’s your day going?
I trust McCarthy about as far as I can throw him and thats not very far these days.
🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
He’s basically a Eunuch….
Lol. Yeah , you’re right. We thought he might stand up erect right after Jan 6th, but right afterwards he took that trip to Mara Lago, where TFG had him neutered. Ruff….
McCarthy was right. Just two years late.
McCarthy is a RINO
Kevin is more of a wimpy, declawed, toothless lapdog.
He has let his whole country down. I would never vote for him.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He’s a RINO! JUST SAY NO!
A Rhino is a powerful, fearless creature.
Kevin is more of a wimpy, declawed, toothless lapdog.
Lol. Republicans talking about accountability is like a criminal talking about upholding the law.
Accountability lmao if you say so
I hope he’s including himself with his accountability as an UN-American in Congress.
Hopefully you’ll wind up in jail with the rest of the traitors.
Trump will be speaker
Dems lost the House but still hope to get the House of Speaker position, hahaha.
