“House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy’s political operation has steered more than $300,000 over the years to the bloc of Republicans who spurned his speaker bid Tuesday,” Axios reports.
“McCarthy’s leadership PAC, dubbed the Majority Committee, has donated to the campaigns of 17 of the 20 members who voted against him in the first three speaker ballots on Tuesday.”
“Twelve of those members got cash from McCarthy’s political operation during the 2022 cycle.”
