Another Republican Comes Out Against McCarthy

Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC) told Politico that he is a “hard no” vote against Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) for Speaker of the House.

He also said he won’t abstain or miss the vote, which would lower McCarthy’s magic number.

Asked if McCarthy could persuade him to change his mind, Norman replied: “It’s too late right now.”

Norman is the fifth Republican to publicly say he’s opposed to McCarthy, a list which also includes Andy Biggs, Matt Gaetz, Matt Rosendale and Bob Good.
