The debate within the shrunken Republican caucus over Speaker Paul Ryan’s (R-Wisc.) replacement has begun.
Losing majority status in the lower chamber has led to a free-for-all for the party’s top posts, with conservative insurgents attempting to usurp the establishment’s preferred candidates.
Even Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) faces a strong challenge for minority leader from Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio).
Jordan, an unabashed conservative, has already sent a letter to his colleagues making the case for his candidacy.
As Majority Whip, McCarthy failed to garner the votes to repeal Obamacare, secure the border, or reform welfare.
