“The last last bit of lifeline that the California GOP has goes away” if Kevin McCarthy isn’t speaker, a Republican consultant said Wednesday, Jan. 4.
There’s more than pride at stake for California“It will have a devastating impact on the California Republican Party and its infrastructure” if Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Bakersfield, isn’t speaker, said Mike Madrid, a California Republican political consultant.
“Kevin McCarthy is the last credible reason for donors to invest in the party in a significant way in a state where the GOP is essentially irrelevant,” Madrid said. “His competence, his leadership, his ability to kind of put the right people in place as well as bring the funding goes away if he’s no longer the leader of the Republican conference, which is what would happen if he loses the speakership. The last last bit of lifeline that the California GOP has goes away.”to McCarthy, who lost three votes in historic fashion Tuesday, Jan. 3, as a hardline group of 20 or so Republicans refused to back him in the narrowly divided House.
