Matt Gaetz survives revenge primary amid Kevin McCarthy feud
Fox News
Republican Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz survived a primary challenge Tuesday backed by his nemesis, former U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
Last year, Gaetz led a group of eight Republicans to oust McCarthy from the speakership with the help of Democratic members, spawning a feud between the two. Brianna Herlihy is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
McCarthy's attacks on Gaetz stem from a House Ethics Committee investigation into alleged sexual misconduct and drug use. But the allegations aren’t new, and Gaetz had a loyal following in his district, making Tuesday's result the likely outcome.
