Andy Biggs Will Challenge McCarthy for Speaker

Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) writes in the Daily Caller that he will challenge Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) for Speaker when the House votes in January.

Writes Biggs: “Will we elect an establishment Republican as the speaker — think Paul Ryan, or in this case, Ryan’s right-hand man, Kevin McCarthy.”

This would make it harder for McCarthy to get 218 votes on the first ballot.
