McCarthy walks tightrope on speakership after GOP wave fizzles
Fox News
House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy is working to shore up the votes to become speaker after a much-predicated Republican wave failed to materialize on election night.
"I trust you know that earning the majority is only the beginning," McCarthy wrote in a letter to colleagues on Wednesday, announcing his campaign for speaker. "Now, we will be measured by what we do with our majority. Now, the real work begins." Haris Alic is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital covering Congress.
Standing in McCarthy's way are two uncertainties: the size of the Republican majority and whether the hard-line House Freedom Caucus will grant its support.
