Brian Kilmeade blasts GOPLeader Kevin McCarthy's Republican opposers for putting 'ego' over country
Fox News host Brian Kilmeade slammed the Republican holdouts that oppose party leader Kevin McCarthy for next speaker of the House for putting their"ego" over the best interests of the party and country.
Kilmeade singled out Good's dislike for the Republican leader, suggesting Good had a vendetta against McCarthy because he did not support him in the primaries, after rolling a clip of Good claiming that McCarthy would not secure the role. Because the Republican majority in the House of Representatives is so small, with Republicans holding 222 seats over the Democrats' 213, flipping just five votes could put the role into the hands of the Democrats. The next speaker needs to secure 218 votes to be confirmed. However, Biggs is reportedly McCarthy's main challenger for the role.
