Rep. Ben Cline (R-VA) appeared on a radio show and threw more cold water on Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) bid to become speaker.
Said Cline: “We have to ask what’s going to be different, and if it’s not anything substantive, then why should we be voting for Speaker McCarthy?”
And he had an alternative: “This is the Lee Zeldin majority. Because Zeldin has delivered these New York seats for Republicans in Biden districts.”
