McCarthy warns Democrat-backed HR 1 is Pelosi power grab meant to erode election confidence

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said Sunday that the Democrat-backed H.B. 1 will destroy election confidence and serves as a power grab for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, effectively destroying America if the sweeping election reform bill passes next month.

Every House Democrat last week signed onto the sweeping election reform bill H.R. 1 – also known as the For the People Act – saying it will expand voting rights and "clean up corruption" in politics. But Republicans have ripped it as a "federal government takeover" and accuse Democrats of trying to change election rules to benefit themselves. The bill is expected to be considered on the House floor during the first week of March.
