McCarthy says if he doesn’t win Speakership, it’s ‘not God’s plan’

BY EMILY BROOKS - 10/17/22 9:31 AM ET

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) is expressing extreme confidence in his chances of becoming Speaker next year if Republicans win control of the House in the midterm elections, suggesting that divine intervention is the only thing that can keep him from the gavel.

McCarthy said in an interview with Punchbowl News published Monday that he believes he can win the votes of the House Republican Conference no matter how large a GOP majority is, that the prospect of losing does not keep him up at night, and that if he doesn’t win, it wasn’t in “God’s plan.”

“I think I can win with any seat majority,” McCarthy said. “If I’m even up for Speaker, that means we won seats. I’ve been [the top House Republican for] two cycles. I’ve never lost seats, I’ve only won.”

Republican insiders privately muse that McCarthy could have a harder time winning a Speakership vote if Republicans gain only a slim majority.

If the republicants take back the house I hope enough of them wake up enough to not put McCarthy in as speaker. The idiot is a RINO.

Just for one day, I want Donald Trump elected Speaker.  After that, I prefer Jeffords, Boebert, or MTG.

Or Gaetz.  But I would give anything to make Pelosi hand the gavel off to Speaker Trump, if only for a day.  With a cadre of aids in tow giving the Speaker's chair a deep clean with disinfectant.

Jim Jordan said he supports McCarthy for speaker. No for Jordan because of it.

Yes he did---back in the Spring.  IIRC, he didn't want this to be a campaign issue.  I'm willing to see what happens in December.

The bottom line is we have no control over what they do anyway.
