McCarthy: ‘Not at all’ concerned about losing Speakership amid conservative backlash to debt limit deal
BY MYCHAEL SCHNELL - 05/28/23 1:30 PM ETSpeaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) on Sunday said he is “not at all” concerned about losing his leadership position as conservative lawmakers voice concerns with the debt limit deal struck between him and President Biden.
“Not at all, not at all,” McCarthy told reporters in the Capitol when asked if he is worried he could face a vote on ousting him as Speaker.
He also brushed off a question about conservative backlash to the deal within his party.
“I’m not sure who you’re talking to because we did a conference call with our conference and over 95 percent were overwhelmingly excited about what they see,” McCarthy said. “They’re getting the text today.”
