Republicans supporting Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s bid to become House speaker are imploring some conservative members to get behind the effort
WASHINGTON—House Republicans across the ideological spectrum implored some conservative members to drop their efforts to tank GOP leader Kevin McCarthy’s, warning that Democrats could end up selecting the next speaker if the party didn’t unify behind him.
In a closed-door meeting on Tuesday morning, lawmakers lined up to voice support for the California Republican. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, an outspoken populist ally of former President Donald Trump, enthusiastically backed Mr. McCarthy’s bid, as did Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina, who occasionally crosses party lines and has regularly sparred with Mrs. Greene.
