Kevin McCarthy Works to Boost Jim Jordan

“Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy may be out of Congress, but he’s still playing the inside game,” the Washington Sun reports.

“McCarthy is working as a key advisor to House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan as Jordan potentially seeks the top Republican leadership role in the next Congress.”

“Onetime foes, McCarthy and Jordan became close allies in the final year of the California Republican’s career. As McCarthy sought the speaker’s gavel in January 2023, Jordan was a key partner in helping win over some of the conservative holdouts.”
