GOP Lawmaker Scoffs at Threats to Remove McCarthy

· Leave a Comment

Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) brushed off threats to Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) top position, saying threats from conservative Republicans to remove him don’t hold water, The Hill reports.

Said Bacon: “It only takes four Republicans to potentially put [McCarthy] at risk and lose the speakership, but the fact is they have no alternative. They have nobody else that they can offer to put up there that the 200 of us would ever vote for.”

Same Election. Different Stories.

Election Day brings a flood of political news — and which sources you follow can shape the story you see.

That's why I appreciate what Ground News does. It shows how the same story is covered across the political spectrum — and highlights important stories that one side may be ignoring entirely.

And when the votes are counted and everyone starts debating what they mean, it's a useful way to get a broader view.
