McCarthy Faces Backlash From Anti- and Pro-Trump Republicans as He Aims to Become Speaker
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, a California Republican, has publicly stated his ambition to replace Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat, following the 2022 midterms—with the GOP leader and many top Republicans expressing confidence that they will take back the majority in the House next year.
But even if Republicans manage to take control of the lower chamber of Congress—a possibility that Pelosi has dismissed—McCarthy is already facing substantial backlash and criticism from within the GOP caucus.
Republican lawmakers who remain staunchly loyal to former President Donald Trump have increasingly applied pressure on McCarthy and expressed frustration for his tolerance of anti-Trump Republicans. Meanwhile, Republican House members opposed to Trump openly criticize the GOP leader as he refuses to reject the former president.
"I'm looking forward to being Speaker in the next Congress," McCarthy said back in May, expressing his confidence not only in himself, but also in Republicans winning big in the midterms next year.
