Anti-McCarthy Republicans Are Raising Money Off Chaos

Rolling Stone: “The 20 or so Republicans who have opposed Kevin McCarthy’s bid for the speakership — and thus prevented the House of Representatives from swearing in its members and beginning its business — have claimed they’re doing so in the name of draining the swamp. They’ve put forth no viable alternative, nor have they been swayed by any of the concessions McCarthy had made in an effort to woo them. They have, however, received plenty of press for their efforts.”

“Reps. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) and Matt Gaetz (R-FL), two of the staunchest opponents of McCarthy’s bid for the speakership, are now trying to cash in on all the attention.”
